The IETF is vital to how the Internet works today and plays a critical role in the global infrastructure of the Internet. The standards development work of the IETF is supported by a variety of software tools. This statement of work describes three positions related to the support of those tools. Bidders may submit bids for one or more of these positions; however, no bidder will be awarded more than one of these positions. The positions are: • Tools Maintenance; • YANG Catalog Maintenance; and • Minor Tools Enhancements. All contractors shall follow the software development instructions at https://trac.tools.ietf.org/tools/ietfdb/wiki/ContractorInstructions?version=26. The IETF software tools serve a wide variety of people, including IETF participants who author and publish standards (called Requests for Comments or RFCs) and draft standards (called Internet-Drafts), participate in discussions on mail lists, and attend in-person meetings; consumers of RFCs and other information produced by the IETF; IETF leadership groups who provide technical and administrative oversight and management; and staff members who support the IETF and the RFC publication process. In-person IETF meetings occur three times per year at locations around the globe. Tools efforts are coordinated through the IETF Tools Team, which consists of both volunteers and contractors. Input from the IETF community is encouraged in general and often explicitly sought when major new tools projects are being considered. Please reply with questions, if any, and a bid if you are interested in pursuing this opportunity to [email protected]. Thanks in advance.
