Responses must be submitted by July 20, 2026, to lia.arthofer@nist.gov in Microsoft Word or PDF format, limited to ten pages excluding the cover page and standard commercial pricing information, and must not include any proprietary, classified, or sensitive data. Respondents are required to provide detailed information including company identification, Unique Entity ID, size certification under NAICS 334515, SAM.gov registration status, and whether they qualify as a small business capable of complying with FAR clause 52.219-14 on subcontracting limitations. NIST also invites suggestions to improve the draft specifications to enhance competition, recommendations for potential evaluation factors, and standard commercial pricing documentation to aid in market price estimation. Companies participating as part of a team must submit the same information for all entities involved. While NIST will review submissions to inform its future acquisition strategy, it will not compensate respondents or guarantee feedback. Participation is voluntary, and all submitted information may be used for any lawful purpose, including the potential development and publication of a formal solicitation on SAM.gov or GSA eBuy after thorough market analysis.
