What this contract is for

Agency: COMMERCE, DEPARTMENT OF / NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY
Location: Gaithersburg, MD
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 513210 - Software Publishers
Scope: Federal

The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP) and the national network of MEP Centers to be effective and efficient in the program’s data-driven approach to serving U.S. manufacturers and improving U.S. manufacturing the program needs access to dynamic and relevant manufacturing data.

NIST MEP is a go-to-resource for U.S. manufacturing, so having as much knowledge on the U.S. manufacturing sector as possible is a must.

The goal with this tool/service is to gain granularity in our understanding of U.S. manufacturing; from varying industry levels (NAICS), to varying geographical levels (county, state), to different occupational levels (SOC codes).

The general need is for NIST MEP and the national network of MEP Centers to understand data trends in the U.S. manufacturing sector at the previously mentioned levels of detail.

Being able to understand any changes that may be coming to the U.S. manufacturing sector and its subcomponents and being able to prepare for those changes are of importance to the program.

Anything beyond (but including) data projection that can help the program get in front of changes to the manufacturing sector is of interest.

The contractor shall provide a commercial off the shelf (COTS) data tool/service that is hosted on a web-based platform that can be accessed via a site license.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
