Response to Questions to RFQ 1333ND24QNB130451.pdf

This document is a Response to Questions to Request for Quote (RFQ) 1333ND24QNB130451 for Membership in a Semiconductor Market Data Platform. The RFQ is being issued by the Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to obtain five licenses to access a web portal that provides industry data, expertise, and analysis on a range of semiconductor companies. The web portal must include information on market participants, key personnel, investors, supply chains, business partnerships, and U.S. government contracts. The CHIPS Program Office requires this data to support semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing under the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The RFQ is not for a brand-new contract, as the incumbent provider is Gartner Inc. under contract 1333ND23PNB130151. Interested offerors must provide a firm-fixed-price quotation for the web portal subscription as defined in the Statement of Work.
