The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology has a continuing requirement for a multiple award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) construction contract (MACC) to provide construction services at the NIST locations in Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was founded in 1901 and is now part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST is one of the nation’s oldest physical science laboratories. Congress established the agency to remove a major challenge to U.S. industrial competitiveness at the time—a second-rate measurement infrastructure that lagged behind the capabilities of the United Kingdom, Germany, and other economic rivals.

From the smart electric power grid and electronic health records to atomic clocks, advanced nanomaterials, and computer chips, innumerable products and services rely in some way on technology, measurement, and standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Today, NIST measurements support the smallest of technologies to the largest and most complex of human-made creations—from nanoscale devices so tiny that tens of thousands can fit on the end of a single human hair up to earthquake-resistant skyscrapers and global communication networks.

Activities may consist of but are not limited to:

• DBB and DB Construction services including site renovations and renovations of existing labs and offices up to and including the complete strip out of selected areas and the reconstruction of new labs and offices in facilities built as long ago as the early 1950’s
• DBB and DB Structural demolition and construction including foundations, concrete, steel and other materials used in the construction trades
