[NCUC-DISCUSS] Berkman Center to review the proposal to NTIA

[James Gannon]

I can ally your fears that the review is costing that much =)
https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/files/Size_Standards_Table.pdf

Size standards such as the 27.5m identified in the contract are 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.

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.

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.

Overall its US govt show now, it's their budget, their funds and their process. The MS community has done her part.

Cheers!
