About this file
This statement of work outlines requirements for a web-based manufacturing data analysis and modeling tool or service. The National Institute of Standards and Technology seeks a one-year base period and four one-year option periods for access to aggregated manufacturing data from multiple sources at the national, state, county, and ideally zip code and metropolitan statistical area levels. Data must be available by three to six-digit North American Industry Classification System codes and two to five-digit Standard Occupational Classification codes, updated at least twice yearly. The tool must allow customizable industries, occupations, and geographies as well as modeling, mapping, downloading, and customizing outputs. Responses are due by June 4, 2021 to determine small business set-aside eligibility and procurement method for this requirement assigned North American Industry Classification System code 511210.

Statement of Work/Requirements Manufacturing Data Analysis and Modeling License
I. BACKGROUND:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP) works as a catalyst to strengthen American manufacturing. Through a nationwide network of MEP Centers, MEP provides manufacturers with access to a wealth of tools, techniques and other resources. With services ranging from innovation strategies to process improvements to the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies, MEP offers tools, solutions and resources to address manufacturers’ diverse challenges and opportunities.
To support the mission of the MEP, the Program Evaluation and Economic Research (PEER) Group of seeks to purchase access to a manufacturing data analysis and modeling tool or service that will help NIST MEP support the MEP National Network’s data-driven approach to enhancing the performance of U.S. manufacturers and improving U.S manufacturing.
II. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
The contractor shall provide data service that are hosted on a web-based platform that can be accessed via a site license. Being able to access the web-based platform wherever users are will allow NIST MEP users to quickly gain access to aggregated manufacturing relevant data from multiple sources and use that to analyze different aspects of U.S. manufacturing, including changes in establishment counts, changes in employment numbers, supply chain identification and mapping, etc.
The data service will provide a flexible means through which NIST MEP can analyze the U.S. manufacturing industry. Flexibility should extend to, but not be limited to, both industry (NAICS code) and geography. At a minimum, data shall be available at the 6-digit NAICS level and National in scope, with data also available at the state and county level. Ideally, the data set will allow flexibility between the 3 to 6-digit NAICS codes and will also extend that flexibility to occupation (SOC) codes. The data service will leverage and combine reputable data sources, such as Federal and State Government data sets, and shall be updated on a regular basis (more than once per year). The outputs generated should be flexible, but at least come in the form of reports or spreadsheets. These reports will be used either internally within NIST MEP or disseminated to Centers across the MEP National Network to help with strategic planning, market research, workforce research, and targeted marketing, among other initiatives.
III. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
| Specifications / Criteria |
| Requirements |
| The tool must be web-based rather than desktop-based |
| Web-based, accessible from any web browser. |
| Licensure |
| Providing access (username and password) – via licenses users to have access to the data service platform on the manufacturing sector. |
Individual licenses in bulk (at least 10 users at the National Office). Product may be rated higher if it provides Center licenses in bulk (all 51 Centers with at least one user account in each Center) or a way to give discounts to Centers who become interested in the tool. Giving Centers licenses in mass would be an alternative to National Office licenses.
| Industry Detail |
| Flexibility between 3 to 6-digit level NAICS codes. |
| Occupational Detail |
| Flexibility between 2 to 5-digit SOC codes. |
| Geographic Detail |
| National in scope but data also available at state and county level. Product may be rated higher if they make data available at zip code and/or MSA levels. |
| Customization |
| User-initiated customization (e.g. the user can do it inside the tool without needing the vendor) |
Creation of customizable industries not otherwise defined (e.g. combining manufacturing industries with research and development industries to form “innovation industries”)
Creation of customizable occupational groupings not otherwise defined (e.g. combining production and transportation occupations to form “manufacturing relevant” occupation groupings)
Creation of customizable geographies not otherwise defined (e.g. combining Montgomery County and Frederick County in MD to form “Northwest DC Suburban Counties”)
| Data Availability |
| Data provided should be from reputable sources. If proprietary data provided, data reliability must be discussed. Historical data for the past 10 years and projected data for the next 10 years is necessary. |
Data should include labor market information and broader economic indicators organized by both industry and occupation. Product should include ability to model data. Additional workforce data seen as a plus.
| Data Updates |
| Updates at least twice per year are required, but quarterly updates are better. |
| Data Outputs |
| The ability to sort, rank, download, and print various data outputs/reports is required. |
The ability to extract information including charts and tables which must include proper attributes of source.
The ability to customize elements within the data service platform, including time frame, geography, and industry.
The ability to customize output/report screens and views. If the user can create their own front page/splash screen/dashboard or if the tool provides templates for manufacturing-specific output reports that would be seen as a plus.
| Geographic Information System |
| The ability to develop thematic maps based on different indicators (e.g. rates of manufacturing density, job density, average earnings, etc.). |
| Customer Support |
| Dedicated Client Relationship Manager that is available to manage day-to-day needs to ensure NIST MEP receives the support needed to use the service effectively and efficiently. |
Provide two (2) training sessions for users in NIST MEP that can be conducted via webinar.
Providing users with web alerts or RSS data feeds on data set updates and any updates to the platform
| Quarterly Reporting |
| Providing NIST MEP with quarterly reports containing information on the usage of the tool/service across the users registered, which elements of the service are being accessed, and other information to be determined |
| OS Compatibility |
| Microsoft and MAC |
| Hardware Compatibility |
| Must be compatible with all existing technology, |
Period of Performance:
One-year base period and four one-year option periods.
Proposed period of performance
Base Period - October 1, 2021 – September 30, 2022 Option Period I - October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023 Option Period II - October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024 Option Period III - October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025 Option Period IV - October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026
