About this vehicle
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), part of the Department of Commerce, established this Master IDIQ on August 5, 2015 to provide IT models, IT standard reference implementations, IT tools, standard reference database (SRD) applications, and scientific and technical information archival project support. The vehicle's ordering period closed on August 8, 2020, making it inactive for new task-order awards as of five years and eleven months ago.
All 203 task orders issued under the vehicle fund NIST programs exclusively. Two prime contractors dominate: Prometheus Computing, LLC holds 121 orders valued at $18.5 million combined potential value, and Chakra Consulting, Inc. holds 77 orders valued at $14.4 million. Electrosoft Services, LLC accounts for the remaining five orders at $512 thousand. Competition is highly concentrated—the two largest primes capture roughly 98 percent of the vehicle's activity by dollar value.
The set-aside mix skews heavily toward unrestricted awards: 157 of 203 orders (77 percent) carried no set-aside designation, while 46 orders (23 percent) were set-aside for small business. Task orders span software development and maintenance, database engineering, network and communications systems evaluation, machine learning implementations, health IT conformance testing (HL7 and FHIR), cybersecurity infrastructure, and scientific data curation and discovery platforms. Recent awards (2020–2021) supported AI in biosystems and health, election guidance systems, medical device interoperability standards, 5G millimeter-wave channel modeling, containerized analytics frameworks, and industrial Internet of Things communications research. Typical task-order values range from roughly $20 thousand to $850 thousand, with firm fixed-price structures and performance periods averaging eight to twelve months.
The combined task-order potential value is $33.4 million, with $33.3 million obligated—100 percent of ceiling. Ordering momentum declined sharply in 2021 (14 orders) compared to 2020 (45 orders), reflecting the vehicle's closure to new awards. The vehicle is fully exhausted and no longer available for new competition.
