The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, has awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) contract to ARW Inc., a small business doing business as American Rigging & Welding. The IDV contract, valued at up to $3,000,000 over its 5-year period of performance from 2024 to 2029, provides NIST with a flexible mechanism to acquire specialized welding and rigging services on an as-needed basis in support of the agency's metrology, standards development, and scientific testing programs.
Under the BOA, ARW Inc. will supply NIST with a range of welding expertise and structural metalworking services, including copper airline welding, demolition and rebuilding of existing systems, replacement of heat exchangers, and fabrication plus installation projects for confinement leak testing and demineralized water cooling. This will enable NIST to efficiently procure critical welding and metalworking support for its research facilities and infrastructure through the issuance of individual task orders, as required. The BOA was awarded to ARW Inc. without any set-aside designations, leveraging the company's proven track record of providing over $100,000 in welding services to NIST over the past three years under previous prime contract awards.
