Tender Details
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Dickson/Unigage, 930 S.

The integrity of thousands of reference materials and related calibrants and controls is dependent upon the maintenance of the correct temperature over the life of the materials
In FY25, MML purchased hardware, software licenses, and service agreement necessary to install, deploy, and use the OceaView environmental monitoring system manufactured and sold by Dickson/Unigage. NIST requires additional Dickson services and OceaView brand supplies for continued and expanded use of this existing, installed system.
