Operator Training and Knowledge Transfer

The contract entails the delivery of comprehensive technical training to NIST staff on the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of a wavelength meter, with an emphasis on knowledge transfer to ensure long-term operational capability. Training materials will be developed specifically for this purpose and delivered either on-site in Boulder, Colorado, or virtually, accommodating the needs of the NIST team. The scope includes not only hands-on instruction but also the creation of durable, reusable resources to support ongoing use and problem resolution without reliance on external support. This subcontract, classified under NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training, is issued by the Department of Commerce through its NIST division. The opportunity was posted on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of July 31, 2026, and requires proposers to demonstrate expertise in delivering technical education in a scientific environment. The place of performance is firmly established in Boulder, though virtual delivery options are permitted, allowing flexibility in approach while ensuring alignment with NIST’s operational requirements and infrastructure.
