The Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $50 million multiple-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Capital Consulting Corp, a minority-owned, woman-owned, veteran-owned small business, to support the Public Safety Communications Research Open Innovation Opportunities (PSCR OIO) program. Under this BPA, Capital Consulting will provide a range of professional services including prize challenge administration, conference planning, logistics support, and participant payments to advance NIST's research and development efforts in public safety communications technologies.
Specific task orders issued to date include a $1.51 million firm fixed price contract for UAS 4.0 prize challenge services and an $864,082 fixed-price contract for the UAS 2.0 Prize Challenge, both of which are focused on accelerating the development of unmanned aircraft systems capabilities. The work will be performed in Fairfax, Virginia with a period of performance through October 2024. This BPA is part of NIST's broader mission to support research, standards, and technology transfer across government and industry to enhance economic and national security.
