The following have been modified:

STATEMENT OF WORK

Strategic Intelligence & Analysis Cell (SIAC) Open-Source data sets for Science & Technology (S&T) literatures and conference proceedings and Global Patents

Requirement Overview The Strategic Intelligence & Analysis Cell (SIAC) performs the critical mission of identifying and assessing emerging technologies with defense implications for the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering, USD(R&E) enterprise. The Government requires research literature data and analytical tools to carry out this critical mission. SIAC requires the most comprehensive and disambiguated meta data sets within academic Science & Technology (S&T) literature and citations, as well as, related private sector patent data. The described data will enable SIAC analysts to cohesively understand the impact of academia and commercial research development’s influence on the development of critically emerging technologies from a Defense perspective. Moreover, it will enable SIAC to perform horizon scanning and data trend analysis to inform Department of Defense senior leadership of emerging and potentially disruptive technologies with military applicability. The following outlines the procurement requirements for data elements, data format, and supporting Web-accessible data platform to conduct SIAC’s data trend analysis.

Scope:

Data Elements and Access The commercial data provider will provide access to an XML Data Feed with a 20 Year Back file for, at a minimum, Academic Journals, Conference Proceedings, Books, Research Data, and Global Patents. This data feed should provide the capability for comprehensive citation searches that reference cross-disciplinary research to enable complex analysis of specialized sub-fields within a scientific discipline. The data feed should represent, at a minimum, over 80 Million disambiguated and cleaned records from multiple databases that leverage a common ontology for organization and structure) based on the following technical requirements:

• The data will support bibliometric analysis and must include academic journals and scientific publications/books, research data and conference proceedings, funding acknowledgements, and global patents.

• The data will support bibliometric analysis and must include academic journals and scientific publications, conference proceedings, and funding acknowledgements.

• The data must be comprehensive in nature, to include; global coverage spanning several science & technology disciplines over multiple years (at least 20 years at a minimum), data must also include citations within the dataset, and English translations with extensive Chinese and Russian journal coverage.

• The ability to host this data on a DoD cloud-based architecture (CBA). This CBA will be behind a firewall that has controlled access to the data.

• Allow access for up to 30 concurrent users.

• Will have the ability to augment the mix of supporting databases within the Extensible Markup

Language (XML) data-feeds based on the availability of new data sets.

• Metadata fields must include (at a minimum):

o Journals and Publications Title Organization Journal Author Abstract

Country Date Keywords Relevant Subject Categories Number of Citations o Conference Proceedings Conference Title Conference Date Conference Location o Grants/Funding Funding amounts Funding organization Funding organization country of origin Year

Data Format

• Data providers must provide flat file bulk deployments with updates occurring at least quarterly throughout the period of performance.

• Data delivered as directed by the Government through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), hard drive transfer, and/or other means as agreed at no additional charge.

• Data must be available in standard, machine-readable formats, to include XML, Java Script Objective

Notation (JSON), or other Government-approved formats.

Supporting Web-Accessible Platform

• Requires a Web-accessible data platform native to the data listed above with a designated number of concurrent user accounts to conduct research and analysis. The platform should meet the following functional requirements:

o Provide a robust visual interface allowing analysts to develop structured or general queries, filter metadata fields to conduct deep dive analyses, and produce data visualizations for reporting.

o Allow the ability to “drill down” into the data to examine individual nodes/articles or organizations and institutions o Support standard data visualizations. Examples may include line chart, bar graph, clustering, heat maps, geographic maps, timelines, etc.

o Allow complete report and raw data exports in standard formats.

o Allow users to save subsets of specific data and queries/searches for repeat use.

o Provide disambiguation of organizations and individuals so that each individual source or subject can be uniquely identified.

o Include documentation, including quick start user guides, detailed user documentation, user training resources (e.g., online and/or formal programs of instruction and taxonomies to help user queries).

o Provide a data dictionary to help users understand content of the various metadata fields.

• Allow access for up to 20 concurrent users.

• The vendor must provide, upon request, in-person or virtual user training and a user manual for the

Web-accessible database platform.

• The vendor must provide technical support and direct consultation and its designated partners responsible for conducting analysis to support Tech Watch and Horizon Scan efforts.

• The vendor must ensure availability of the raw dataset and Web-accessible data platform at the time of award.

Requested information

• Licensing Detail – Ownership of the purchased bulk data, including the accessibility of the data past beyond the length of the contractual terms

• Cyber security and information assurance, including Impact Level, details of the Web-Accessible Platform

Following are relevant contract terms and schedule

Period of Performance 12 month base year plus four (4) 12-month option years Milestones & Deliverables

• Within 2 weeks post award – Delivery of the required Data as outlined in Data Format section; provision of login credentials valid for the duration of the Period of Performance (One Year) of the contract.

• Within 4 weeks post award – Initial Kick-off meeting

• Every 6-months – In-progress Review

• Twice a year – Offer/provide training through in-person and virtual means

• Provide on call technical support
