The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian federal agency within the Department of Commerce, awarded a $4 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Penobscot Support Services, LLC, a tribally-owned, minority-owned small disadvantaged business, to provide electrical maintenance and testing services at NIST's Gaithersburg, Maryland campus. This 8(a) sole-source contract runs through September 2025 and allows NIST to efficiently procure essential facility maintenance services from Penobscot to support its research mission in measurement science and technology.
Under this IDC, NIST has issued a series of firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Penobscot, valued at over $2.3 million, for a range of electrical maintenance, testing, and repair services, including solar array maintenance, water condenser repairs, HVAC equipment testing, and high voltage gear testing. These services are critical for maintaining the laboratory infrastructure that enables NIST's federal research and standards development programs. The delivery orders do not utilize any small business set-asides, and the work is performed at NIST facilities in Gaithersburg and Bethesda, Maryland.
