About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued a Special Notice regarding a ceiling increase for an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract supporting the Information Technology Laboratory. The contract, originally awarded to Trec Assessors, LLC on September 20, 2021, is set to run through September 30, 2026, and will see its funding ceiling raised from $1.5 million to $2.1 million. This increase is driven by growing demand for technical evaluations in natural language processing and multimedia understanding, particularly within the TREC program. The contract is specifically designed to support critical AI system performance benchmarking efforts, aligning with evolving federal AI initiatives, including the recent Executive Order on Advancing AI Education.
Contractors interested in this opportunity must submit capability statements via email to robert.cowins@nist.gov or hingpan.wong@nist.gov by May 19, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. EST. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541990, with a small business size standard of $19.5 million in annual revenue, indicating potential opportunities for small businesses. NIST plans to separately compete and award a successor contract vehicle, with a Sources Sought Notice (AMDTC25-0004) expected in Q4 FY2025. The contract supports technical evaluations in professional, scientific, and technical services, specifically focused on information retrieval support. Eligible contractors should have expertise in AI system performance assessment, natural language processing, and multimedia understanding technologies. The opportunity represents a strategic approach by NIST to maintain robust technical evaluation capabilities in emerging AI and technology domains.
