About this vehicle
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established a Master BPA on June 6, 2024, to procure scientific, engineering, and technical assistance support services for the CHIPS R&D Office, with ordering authority open through June 5, 2029. The vehicle carries a $70 million shared ceiling and has issued three task orders totaling $60 million in combined potential value, of which $29.3 million has been obligated, representing 49 percent of available contract value.
Booz Allen Hamilton dominates the vehicle, holding two of three task orders representing all but $57,000 of the combined potential value. Work centers on scientific, engineering, and technical assistance (SETA) support and technical writing for the CHIPS metrology program, all funded by NIST. The most recent order, issued March 9, 2026, carries a ceiling of $47.1 million with $25 million obligated and a completion date of March 8, 2030; work is structured as labor hours. An earlier technical writing order was terminated for convenience with no dollars obligated.
Ordering momentum has slowed: two orders were placed in the vehicle's first year (2024), but only one in 2026. With roughly 2.8 years of ordering authority remaining and significant ceiling capacity available — $70 million minus $60 million in potential value equals $10 million unallocated — the vehicle remains available for task orders. No set-aside restrictions apply; the single characterized task order shows no set-aside designation. Competition is limited to two primes on the vehicle, with Allegheny Science & Technology Corporation holding a micro-scale order; meaningful pursuit depends on relationship or subcontracting position under Booz Allen Hamilton.
