About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a Notice of Intent to sole source, under FAR 12.201-1, the renewal of Globus Connect Software Licenses and Premium Connect add-on services with the University of Chicago, with an interested-party response deadline of July 24, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time.
NIST intends to procure the software licenses and support services to enable the Material Measurement Laboratory at the NIST Gaithersburg, Maryland campus to operate scientific instruments at remote locations, including the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. NIST researchers generate high data volumes requiring Globus for distributing large datasets between Argonne and NIST for processing, calibration, and analysis. The University of Chicago, located at 6054 S Drexel Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60637, is identified as the only known vendor capable of providing the required software licenses, add-on features, and support needed by NIST. The sole source determination rests on the need for continuity of the existing Globus endpoint infrastructure and the critical importance to the Materials Genome Initiative, as switching systems would result in loss of knowledge and configuration from years of prior setup.
Interested parties that believe they can satisfy the requirements must submit written responses clearly identifying their capability to rene.edwards@nist.gov by the deadline. NIST reserves the right to determine whether to compete the acquisition based on responses received.
