>        The Department of Commerce, National
>Telecommunications and Information Administration
>(DOC/NTIA) is exploring options for Contractor
>performance of three, interdependent technical
>Internet coordinating functions.     In support of the
>operation of the Internet domain name and addressing
>system, a Contractor would furnish the necessary
>personnel, material, equipment, services, and
>facilities to perform the following services.   
>First, the Contractor would coordinate the assignment
>of technical protocol parameters.     This function
>would involve the review and assignment of unique
>values to numerous parameters (e.g., operation codes,
>port numbers, object identifiers, protocol numbers)
>used in various Internet protocols.    
>
>This function would also include dissemination of
>listings of assigned parameters through various means
>(including on-line publication) and the review of
>technical documents for consistency with assigned
>values.     Second, the Contractor would perform
>administrative functions associated with root
>management.     This function would primarily involve
>facilitation and coordination of the root zone of the
>Internet domain name and addressing system.     It
>would include receiving requests for and making
>routine updates of the country code top level domain
>contact and nameserver information. Third, the
>Contractor would allocate IPv4 and IPv6 delegations of
>IP address space.    
>
>This function would include delegation of IP address
>blocks to regional registries for routine allocation,
>typically through downstream providers, to Internet
>end-users within the regions served by those
>registries.     It would also include reservation and
>direct allocation of space for special purposes, such
>as multicast addressing, addresses for private
>networks, and globally specified applications.
>
>The DOC/NTIA is seeking the following information:
>
>1.       Potential Respondents shall describe how they
>would propose to successfully perform each of the
>three services, assuming that all services provided by
>Respondent would be accomplished in accordance with
>all applicable U.S. laws, regulations, policies, and
>procedures.
>
>2.       Potential Respondents shall describe both
>their existing relationships with the following
>entities and the extent to which such relationships
>would enable Respondents to successfully perform each
>of the three services:
>       
>        a. the Internet engineering community,
>
>        b. Internet standards development
>organizations,
>
>        c. Regional Internet Registries,
>
>        d. country code top level domain operators,
>
>        e. generic and sponsored top level domain
>operators, and
>
>        f. national governments or public authorities
>associated with specific country code top level
>domains.
>
>3.       Currently, the services are performed under
>contract at no cost to the United States Government. 
>   Potential Respondents shall describe proposed
>financial plans, including, if appropriate, the manner
>in which charges levied for services rendered would be
>derived.     Charges cannot be based on cost plus a
>percentage of cost.

>Respondents shall not be obligated to provide the
>services described herein and it is understood by the
>United States Government that the cost estimates
>provided as a result of this request are ?best?
>estimates only.
