The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Compressed Gas Delivery Services at the locations listed above. This acquisition is for a performance-based contract, solicited, evaluated, awarded, and administered using the Commercial Item procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13, for management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies.

The Government anticipates awarding a single Firm-Fixed Price contract with contract line items for recurring services and with Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract line items for additional and above standard services. Additional services may be ordered at the discretion of the Government for work relating to the operations, maintenance and repair or upgrade of the covered facilities, but not covered in the basic services of the contract (i.e. under the firm-fixed price contract line items).

Award of the Contract will be made to the proposal offering the Best Value to the Government and based upon the evaluation factors and evaluation scheme to be detailed in the Request for Proposals.
