The entity will primarily serve in a matchmaker capacity, and the intermediary will work to increase the likelihood of successful cooperative activities between the lab, small businesses, academia, and industry.  The Government is considering awarding a PIA reflective of an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.   The PIA will not exceed $49.9M with the “task orders” in this instance referred to as Collaborative Project Orders (CPOs).  Individual CPOs may vary in size and complexity.
