Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document appears to be a list of contracts, likely for administrative or financial tracking purposes. It includes columns for 'Feeder System No', 'Awd GSA-FSS No', 'Vendor Name', 'Award PIIN', and 'Unliquidated Balance in CBS'.

• Lists numerous vendors with associated contract identifiers.
• Shows an 'Unliquidated Balance in CBS' for each entry, which is consistently listed as $0.00 across all visible entries.

This document does not appear to be a solicitation, SOW, amendment, or Q&A. It is a data listing that may provide context on existing contracts but does not contain requirements or instructions for potential bidders on a new opportunity. Its direct relevance to a bidder preparing a proposal is minimal, unless it is referenced as part of a larger contract vehicle or for historical data.

This document appears to be a report detailing unliquidated balances for various vendors within the CBS system, associated with specific feeder system and award GSA FSS numbers. It lists vendor names and their corresponding unliquidated balances.

• Feeder System No: Identifies the originating system for the transaction.
• Awd GSA-FSS No: Specifies the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule award number.
• Vendor Name: The name of the vendor associated with the balance.
• Unliquidated Balance in CBS: The outstanding balance amount in the Centralized Billing System (CBS).

While this document does not directly solicit proposals or define work requirements, it provides a snapshot of financial data related to past awards and vendor balances. Bidders may find this information useful for understanding the financial landscape of existing contracts within the system, which could indirectly inform their bidding strategy or provide context for the types of vendors and contract values previously managed.

This document is a Special Notice from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) regarding a Streamlined Award Closeout Initiative. NIST is implementing a limited-use case procedure to close out expired awards that are past their period of performance or final delivery date and for which the standard closeout timeframe has elapsed. The initiative aims to reduce a backlog of expired awards and facilitate their archiving and migration to modernized financial systems.

• Action Required: Contractors with awards identified in an attached spreadsheet are requested to submit a proper invoice to invoice@nist.gov for any outstanding requests for payment for accepted products or services within 30 days of the notice publication date (February 13, 2026).
• Potential De-obligation: NIST contracting officers may unilaterally de-obligate funds for outstanding awards starting 45 days after the notice publication date if no action is taken.
• Criteria for Awards: The initiative applies to firm-fixed-price, labor-hour, and/or time-and-materials awards that have expired, have no active warranty issues, are past the FAR Subpart 4.8 closeout timeframe, and for which NIST is not aware of outstanding invoices.
• Contractor Rights: Contractor rights are protected under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978.

This document announces the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Streamlined Award Closeout Initiative. The U.S. Department of Commerce's NIST acquisition portfolio includes expired awards (purchase orders, contracts, task orders, delivery orders, Blanket Purchase Agreements, and BPA calls) that have passed their period of performance or final delivery date, and for which the FAR Subpart 4.8 closeout timeframe has elapsed. NIST is implementing a streamlined process to clear this backlog of awards, particularly those with zero-dollar balances, which burden legacy systems and impede archiving and system migration efforts.

This notice serves as a Release of Liability for the Government for the awards identified in an attached spreadsheet. It aims to expedite the closeout of these files. NIST is not aware of any outstanding invoices for these awards. For questions, contact Biji John at Biji.John@nist.gov. Contractor rights under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 remain protected, and normal FAR Subpart 4.8 contract file retention requirements will apply after awards are closed.
