This acquisition is a Total Small Business Set-Aside. BACKGROUND The Applied Electrical Metrology (AEM) group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for testing software for intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and smart sensors using IEC 61850, DNP3, IEC 60870, and MODBUS communications protocols. These protocols are used in the Smart Grid and NIST is tasked under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 with ensuring that Smart Grid standards are available and harmonized to ensure interoperability. The software will be incorporated in the NIST Smart Grid Testbed for testing relevant for protection and optimization applications. The test software will be used with merging units and other IEDs to evaluate interoperability and to make recommendations to the relevant standards organizations for improvements in the standards. The software must have capability for testing the spectrum of 61850 protocols, including Sampled Values (SVs) and GOOSE messaging, as well as DNP3 and MODBUS protocols. All items offered shall be established commercial products. Experimental, prototype, or custom items will not be accepted.

Building 215 Clean Room HEPA Filter Replacement
Solicitation # RFI-195000-26-00181
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is conducting market research through a Request for Information for the Building 215 Advanced Measurement Laboratory cleanroom repair and HEPA filter replacement project in Gaithersburg, Maryland. This initiative follows a previous solicitation that failed to produce an acceptable offer, prompting NIST to reassess its acquisition strategy and seek industry feedback on constructability, cost, and schedule feasibility. The project scope involves the modernization of an 1,800 square meter facility, including the replacement of approximately 1,200 HEPA filters, 70 VAV terminal units, and 54 airflow monitoring devices, as well as the installation of 32 exhaust air control valves and associated ductwork repairs, testing, and recertification. A critical component of the project is the proposed phasing plan, which aims to minimize research disruptions by utilizing 19 construction phases, including 18 critical cleanroom outage phases. Each critical outage is currently envisioned as a nine-day window starting Friday evening and requiring 24/7 operations to achieve ready-for-re-occupancy by the following Monday morning. NIST is specifically requesting rough-order-of-magnitude cost estimates and industry input on whether this aggressive outage schedule is realistic or if it creates prohibitive risks and costs. Responses, including company experience and recommendations for improving competition and project execution, are due by October 14, 2026.
