- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order for Internet2 Membership fee for 1/1/09 through 12/31/09 on a sole source basis with University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development, 1000 Oakbrook Drive, Suite 300 Ann Arbor, MI 481046794, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), soliciting from a single source. Internet2 is the only experimental network in the U.S. for research in networking technologies. All major universities as well as U.S. Government agencies conducting research are connected to this network. In order to access the network, NIST must be a member of the Internet2 Consortium and have a physical high speed network connection to the backbone network of the Internet2, the Abilene Network, and pay membership and network connection fees. The proposed fiber connection is in place from the Gaithersburg campus to the high speed network provider, Mid Atlantic Crossroads (MAX), who will in turn connect NIST to the Abilene Network. As on other such network exists, Internet2 is the only alternative. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement, in writing, no later than the response date. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bona fide capability to fulfill the requirement. A determination by the Government whether to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
