- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has six follow-on requirements to existing contracts to provide support services for each of the regions within the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) for Technology Transfer: Far West, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-Continent, Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. The incumbents have performed satisfactorily. They are listed below: Pathfinder Research, Inc. Pendulum Management Company, LLC Zyn Systems Consulting Technology and Management International, LLC The FLC is the nationwide network of federal laboratories that provides the forum to develop strategies and opportunities for linking the laboratory mission technologies and expertise with the marketplace. The FLC was organized in 1974 and formally chartered by the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 to promote and to strengthen technology transfer nationwide. More than 700 major federal laboratories and centers and their parent departments and agencies are FLC members. The Consortium creates an environment that adds value to and supports the technology transfer efforts of its members and potential partners. The FLC develops and tests transfer methods, addresses barriers to the process, provides training, highlights grass-roots transfer efforts, and emphasizes national initiatives where technology transfer has a role. For the public and private sector, the FLC brings laboratories together with potential users of government-developed technologies. This is in part accomplished by the FLC Laboratory Locator Network and regional and national meetings.
