US Top Level Domain (usTLD) Registry Management Services

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is issuing a solicitation for the administration and modernization of the United States country‑code top‑level domain (usTLD). Offerors must provide a firm‑fixed‑price contract with a three‑year base period and up to four one‑year options, and must submit a Fee Structure Template (Section J) with a cost narrative justifying that fees are in the public interest. Proposals must include a physical U.S. address at the time of bid submission, and all primary registry services must be performed within the United States or its territories. The solicitation contains mandatory FAR clauses on organizational conflict of interest (CAR 1352.209‑70/74) that cannot be modified; offerors must disclose any prior or ongoing work related to the acquisition and detail mitigation measures. Any policies, procedures, rules, or agreements—whether created for the contract or part of the contractor’s standard operations—require prior approval from the Contracting Officer’s Representative/Contracting Officer. Evaluation will be based on non‑price factors rated “high,” “some,” or “low” confidence, with a holistic assessment of technical understanding and capability. No proposal “tracks” are defined, and the solicitation clarifies that there are no current or planned requirements for internationalized domain names or expanded character support within the .us TLD.
