The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian federal agency, awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract titled "NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Support Services (CAPSS)" to Electrosoft Services, Inc., a small, minority-owned, and disadvantaged business concern. The $125 million IDIQ contract, which has a performance period through November 30, 2028, provides NIST with technical expertise and support services across a range of cybersecurity research, development, and implementation areas.
The contract has resulted in the award of several delivery orders to Electrosoft, including $1.3 million for technical support to NIST's Digital Identity Program, $163,000 for Privacy Engineering Program support, $176,000 for Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board minutes support, and $2.6 million for the Cryptographic Validation Program. These delivery orders cover a variety of cybersecurity and IT services in support of NIST's mission to develop standards, technologies, tools, and practices to protect the nation's information systems. The IDIQ was originally solicited as a total small business set-aside, reflecting NIST's emphasis on engaging small, disadvantaged, and minority-owned businesses for these critical support services.
