About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking to continue its Telephone Time of Day Service, which provides time-of-day and other information to over two thousand callers daily. The key requirements include operating and supporting a 3 MB CCEIA circuit provided by Lumen Telcom, which is distributed via a Lumen-provided multiplexer to 24 telephone lines at Radio Station WWV in Fort Collins, CO. The circuit must meet technical specifications such as a one-way path delay of less than 30ms, minimal delay in VoIP performance, and far-end disconnect signaling on all lines. The period of performance is 12 months from January 10, 2025 to January 9, 2026. This is a sources-sought notice to identify organizations capable of meeting the requirements, not a formal solicitation, and no set-aside designations are specified. The government will use the results of this market research to determine whether to proceed on a sole-source basis or competitively. The requirement is assigned a NAICS code of 517311, Wired Telecommunications Carriers, with a small business size standard of 1,500 employees.
