About this vehicle
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency within the Department of Commerce, established a Master IDIQ on April 28, 2016, to procure diagnosis, calibration, maintenance, repair, upgrades, and training services for more than 100 NIST-owned instruments and components manufactured by MTS and Instron. The vehicle's ordering period closed on April 30, 2019, and is no longer active—no new task orders may be placed against it.
This vehicle is closed to new pursuit. The contracting agency exhausted all ordering activity within the first 18 months of the vehicle's life, awarding four task orders between June 2016 and September 2017, then ceased placing orders. All $70 thousand of the vehicle's combined potential value has been obligated. The most recent award was issued over eight years ago.
The four task orders funded calibration and maintenance services, equipment upgrades, and load-cell calibration work. All orders were firm fixed price and fully obligated at award; none carried option periods or remaining ceiling capacity. Task orders ranged from $3,500 to $53,988 in value, with durations of six to nine months.
Competition was light and concentrated. MTS Systems Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer, won the largest order ($54 thousand for equipment upgrades and maintenance). Absolute Calibration & Consulting Services LLC won two smaller orders totaling $12 thousand for calibration services. Illinois Tool Works Inc. received one $4 thousand order. All awards were unrestricted (no set-aside). All orders funded NIST programs; no other federal agencies placed work against the vehicle.
The vehicle's narrow scope, specialized customer base (NIST only), and cessation of ordering activity within 18 months suggest this was a tactical vehicle to support an initial equipment refresh or maintenance initiative rather than an ongoing operational contract. The small combined value ($70 thousand) and light award velocity indicate limited ongoing demand for this type of specialized instrumentation support at NIST.
