<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Size standards such as the 27.5m identified in the contract are </font><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">guiding standards for the size of the organisation indenting to contract to be able to still qualify as a small or medium
enterprise under federal contracting guidelines and not an indication of the size of the contract itself. So what the figure means is that Berkman has a rough budget or size of enterprise of under 27.5m USD.</font></div>

<p dir="ltr">The wording of the write-up is quite systematic, it's simply saying; we are contracting Berkman Center because we know they will do a good job (even though they didn't express interest initially) and any body is welcome to respond to this information
irrespective we will proceed anyway.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here I was thinking a lot was spent on the transition already owning to the expense published by Xavier, but with 27.5M just for review of a well documented 2 years work. I guess one could congratulate the MS community for spending less in the
getting the actual work done.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Overall its US govt show now, it's their budget, their funds and their process. The MS community has done her part.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers!</p>
