The contract is expected to be awarded under FAR 6.302-1. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared. The period of performance for this effort is 12 months from date of award. The contract will be in support of NIST's Information Systems Division (ISL) to renew Affiliate Membership and Network Participation with Collaboration Site Status. Internet2 is the only experimental network in the U.S. for research in networking technologies and is only available through University Corporation For Advanced Internet Development. Continued use of and access through Internet2's consortium will allow NIST researchers to be part of a national and international network that connects it to research and education institutions. A loss of access would stop progress and NIST researchers would not be able to complete in-progress work. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.
