This will be structured as a full and open competition utilizing an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract framework. The evaluation process will initially assess all submitted offers, with a maximum of three offerors being selected to advance to Phase Two proposal submissions. NIST anticipates issuing the Phase One solicitation on or about September 18, 2025, with contract and first task order award expected by April 19, 2026.
