About this IDV

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a single-award, total small business set-aside Indefinite Delivery Contract to Stone & Associates Inc., a Subchapter S Corporation based in Portland, Maine, with a ceiling value of $10 million and a period of performance from August 30, 2013, through August 29, 2018. The contract encompasses marketing and market research services for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), as well as research, marketing, and deployment support for NIST's National Strategic Initiative and Next Generation Strategy. Stone & Associates, registered in the System for Award Management since September 2002, specializes in providing strategic research, marketing, communications, and advisory services to government and non-profit organizations, with concentrated expertise in supporting NIST's manufacturing competitiveness initiatives. The MEP program operates as a federally funded network designed to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness through technical assistance, training, and support services delivered to small and medium-sized manufacturers.

Under this IDV vehicle, NIST issued 24 firm fixed-price delivery orders totaling approximately $8.1 million across multiple MEP-related initiatives. Delivery order tasks included manufacturing communications support, MEP marketing support, board development services, strategic guidance and facilitation, international sales growth support, supply chain optimization support, and planning and skills development support through the ExporTech program. Performance locations were split between Stone & Associates' headquarters in Portland, Maine, and various NIST facilities in Gaithersburg and Bethesda, Maryland. The majority of delivery orders were issued between September 2013 and August 2018, with individual order values ranging from approximately $43,000 to $774,537 and performance periods typically spanning 6 to 24 months. Most delivery orders utilized no specific set-aside designation, though several earlier awards were designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting Stone & Associates' status as a qualified small disadvantaged business contractor capable of supporting NIST's manufacturing-focused federal initiatives.
