About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a civilian agency under the Department of Commerce, has published a Special Notice regarding the procurement of Regional Transportation District (RTD) Eco-Passes on a sole-source basis. NIST intends to negotiate directly with RTD under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which permits sole-source procurement in specific circumstances. This notice was posted on December 1, 2025, and establishes a formal procurement opportunity in the Interurban and Rural Bus Transportation sector (NAICS 485210). The procurement is not designated as a set-aside contract and carries a size standard of $32 Million. Interested parties have the opportunity to challenge this sole-source determination by submitting appropriate documentation within the specified timeframe.
Potential contractors interested in this procurement must submit an interest letter and capabilities statement by December 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Daylight Time to challenge the sole-source procurement decision. A critical requirement for participation is that interested organizations must demonstrate an established process for providing annual monetary reimbursements to NIST for any unutilized Eco-Passes, indicating that the contract structure includes a cost-recovery mechanism for unused pass inventory. The procurement objective centers on obtaining Eco-Passes from a qualified provider to support NIST's transportation initiatives. Contractors seeking additional information regarding the opportunity may contact Lauren Lopez, Contract Specialist, or Shawn Borisow, Contracting Officer. This notice provides a ten-day window for interested parties to express their capability and intent to compete for this federal contracting opportunity.
