About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary is seeking a contractor to manage and maintain the .us Top Level Domain (usTLD) Registry through a Request for Information (RFI). The anticipated acquisition will be an open market solicitation resulting in a no-cost contract where the contractor generates revenue through domain registration fees. Key contract objectives include enhancing DNS abuse prevention, improving registration data privacy, strengthening U.S. nexus requirement enforcement, implementing Kids.us online safety protocols, and updating security commitments. Evaluation criteria will focus on capability statements, ability to meet objectives, relevant work products, market understanding, risk considerations, and past performance. Critical dates include questions due by January 24, 2025 at 10am ET and final RFI responses due February 7, 2025 at 10am ET, with the government potentially scheduling an industry day.
The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations and provides no details about incumbent contractors. The contract will have a two-year base period with four additional two-year option periods, totaling a potential 10-year engagement. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining a publicly accessible WHOIS database and establishing fee structures subject to Contracting Officer approval. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract will be structured as a fixed-price, no-cost agreement where compensation is derived entirely from domain registration fees. The procurement falls under the NAICS category of Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services (51929) and the PSC category of Support-Professional: Other (R499), indicating a technology and professional services-oriented procurement.
