Public prices involving NIA Korea
- Agent verification content bought by Korea's science ministry (MSIT) and the National Information Society Agency (NIA): difficulty-graded multi-step scenarios that need MCP tools and external APIs, Korean service context with dynamic data, and more than 7,000 verification dataset items, built by a consortium of SureSoft Tech (lead), Crowdworks, KAIST and the Korea AI Industry Association (single-year project, 'AI agent safety and reliability verification system support')
A state buyer paying a testing-and-data consortium for agent test scenarios and a labelled test set, which is evaluation content rather than runnable environments. It is the first award in this cell whose count is public (7,000 or more items), so it turns a contract total into an upper bound per item; the NIA tender notice itself was not found, so this rests on three Korean news reports.
about KRW 1.8 billion (약 18억원)per project (single year, whole consortium)
- NIA (Korea) 2026 AI model benchmark dataset construction programme, second call: two dataset fields, each built by a consortium that must include a generative-AI developer
A budget published by the ministry and its agency for building evaluation datasets, not a price paid yet; the first call (10 Apr 2026) was run the same way. The notice states no dataset size; it sits in the call guide attachment.
The payer's own page, NIA AI Hub, business notice 12 Aug 2026: [공모] 2026년 AI 모델 벤치마크 데이터셋 구축 사업(2차) (MSIT and NIA notice NIA2026-105)
KRW 1,200 million total (정부지원금 600백만원 x 2개 분야)per programme of 2 dataset fields (government grant KRW 600 million each)
