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 proposal that includes a completed Fee Structure Template (Section J) with a detailed cost narrative justifying that fees are in the public interest, reasonable, and market‑based. The contract will be a three‑year base period with up to four one‑year options, performed entirely within the United States; a physical U.S. address must be in place at the time of bid submission. Proposals are evaluated on two non‑price factors using a “high/​some/​low confidence” rating scale, and the solicitation incorporates mandatory 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, obtain COR/CO approval before implementing any policies or agreements, and submit work statements outlining policy and technical approaches for modernizing the usTLD. 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.
