Support for Information Technology and Database Applications for NIST

1. BACKGROUND

Founded in 1901, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. in-novation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and tech-nology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST requires Contractor support to fulfill this mission in the Information Technology and Chemical and Ma-terials Science fields.

The NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) supports the U.S. nanotechno-logy enterprise from discovery to production by providing industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies with access to world-class nanoscale measurement and fabrication methods and technology. The CNST's shared-use NanoFab gives researchers economical access to and training on a commercial state-of-the-art tool set required for cutting-edge nanotechnology de-velopment. The simple application process is designed to get projects started in a few weeks.

Looking beyond the current commercial state of the art, the CNST's NanoLab offers opportunit-ies for researchers to collaborate on creating and using the next generation of nanoscale measure-ment instruments and methods. As the Department of Commerce nanocenter, the CNST provides:

• A unique facility offering access to the instrumentation, methods, and technical expertise required to make and measure components at the nanometer scale.

• Expertise in a wide variety of disciplines ; from physics, chemistry, materials science, mo-lecular biology, computer science, and electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering.

• A world-class, 60,000 square foot (5600 m2) shared resource for nanofabrication and measurement — with over 19,000 square feet (1,800 m2) of cleanroom laboratory space.

• A hub linking the international nanotechnology community to the comprehensive related measurement expertise throughout NIST.

The EL promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness in areas of critical national priority by anticipating and meeting the measurement science and standards needs for technology-intensive manufacturing, construction, and cyber-physical systems, including the Smart Grid Program Office in ways that enhance economic prosperity and improve the quality of life. The EL is actively engaged with technical committees and standards developing organizations (SDOs) that are key to implementing technologies that are aligned with the Laboratory's five strategic goals. Staff members serve on about 130 committees and working groups, many in leadership positions. For example, the output of BFRL research is a source of technical information for ASTM International (ASTM), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American

PAGE 15 OF 106 SB1341-15-RP-0018

Concrete Institute (ACI), the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.(UL), the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB), the International Code Council (ICC), and the Construction Industry Institute.

The EL carries out mission related activities in:

• Fire prevention and control;

• National earthquake hazards reduction;

• National windstorm impact reduction;

• National construction safety teams;

• Building materials and structures;

• Engineering and manufacturing materials, products, processes, equipment, technical data, and standards;

• Manufacturing enterprise integration;

• Collaborative manufacturing research pilot grants; and

• Manufacturing fellowships.

The EL carries out other mission related engineering research that includes:

• Systems integration and engineering,

• Intelligent systems and control,

• Robotics and automation,

• Cyber-physical systems,

• Sustainability and energy efficiency,

• Economic analysis and life cycle assessment,

• Productivity measurement, and

• Safety and environmental performance.

The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at NIST in Gaithersburg, Maryland, accelerates, through standards, tests and metrics, the development, deployment and use of secure, usable, interoperable and reliable information systems. ITL enables measurement and testing through research innovations in the areas of computer science and systems engineering. Current focus areas include Health Information Technology (HIT), especially for Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, Smart Grid standards, various Biosciences information technology (IT) applications, Cloud Computing, Advanced Networking, Voting Systems, Software Assurance, and Computer Forensics. Typically, the work focuses on development of standards, including designing standard use cases and domain modeling; development of systems or reference implementation of a standard using a variety of software languages and database technologies;

and development of test software and test material.

The Material Measurement Laboratory is one of two metrology laboratories within the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The laboratory supports the NIST mission by serving as the national reference laboratory for measurements in the chemical, biological and material sciences. Our activities range from fundamental and applied research on the composi-tion, structure and properties of industrial, biological and environmental materials and processes, PAGE 16 OF 106 SB1341-15-RP-0018 to the development and dissemination of tools including reference measurement procedures, cer-tified reference materials, critically evaluated data, and best practice guides that help assure measurement quality. Our research and measurement services support areas of national import-ance, such as:

• Advanced materials , from nanomaterials to structural steels to complex fluids

• Electronics , from semiconductors to organic electronics

• Energy , from characterization and performance of fossil and alternative fuels to next-gen-eration renewable sources of energy

• The environment , from the measurement of automotive exhaust emissions and other pol-lutants to assessment of climate change and the health and safety aspects of man-made nanomaterials

• Food safety and nutrition , from contaminant monitoring to ensuring the accuracy of nutri-tion labels

• Health care , from clinical diagnostics to tissue engineering and more efficient manufac-turing of biologic drugs

• Infrastructure , from assessing the country's aging bridges and pipelines to the quality of our drinking water

• Manufacturing , from lightweight alloys for fuel-efficient automobiles to biomanufactur-ing and data for chemical manufacturing

• Safety, security and forensics , from gunshot and explosive residue detection, to ensuring the performance of body armor materials, to DNA-based human identity testing

The Material Measurement Laboratory also coordinates the NIST-wide Standard Reference Ma-terials® (SRM) and Standard Reference Data programs, which include production, documenta-tion, inventory, marketing, distribution and customer service.

The Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) develops and disseminates the national standards of length, mass, force and shock, acceleration, time and frequency, electricity, temperature, hu-midity, pressure and vacuum, liquid and gas flow, and electromagnetic, optical, microwave, acoustic, ultrasonic, and ionizing radiation. Its activities range from fundamental measurement research through provision of measurement services, standards, and data.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this contract is to develop IT models, IT standard reference implementations, IT tools, and to develop standard reference database (SRD) applications, and support scientific and technical information archival projects.

3. TYPE OF CONTRACT

The base contract will be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract. All task orders awarded against the base IDIQ contract shall be Firm-Fixed Price.

4. DEFINITIONS

Standard means a Standards Development Organization (SDO) approved standard or a specifica-tion or implementation guide from a professional or technical society or government agency.

• IT Model is a representation of a standard or architecture using UML modeling language.

Models shall be defined using the UML modeling language to emulate the behavior of the system to be developed (see http://www.uml.org/).

• IT Standard Reference Implementations are computer applications that conform to a giv-en standard or specification. They shall be developed from the model or directly from the

PAGE 18 OF 106 SB1341-15-RP-0018

standard or specification and represent an implementation of the standard or implementa-tion guide being tested or developed.

• IT Testing Tools are computer applications built to test implementations of a standard or a portion of a standard when it cannot be tested as a whole. Several tools may be required for test suite for the standard.

As an example of the three definitions above, NIST developed a UML model and reference im-plementation for a standard on Material Declaration. IPC-1752A Materials Declaration Manage-ment provides an improved standard for companies in the supply chain to share information on materials in products. NIST helped the standards body (IPC) develop a UML model (http://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/ei/upload/ipc1750_v2_rc4a.jpg) of the data flow required to support the exchange of information. From the UML model, NIST developed a reference implementation called SCRIBA (http://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/ei/scriba.cfm). SCRIBA is a basic and free open source product which is a Java-based tool that supports all the major features of IPC-1752A.

With SCRIBA users can enter data, save files, print PDF documents, and export 1752 documents in XML format. We will need this type of activity, develop a UML model of the standard or im-plementation guide and then generate XML Schemas/APIs directly from the model so reference implementations like SCRIBA and tools to help with implementation can be developed, in each of the Domains listed in the next section.

• Standard reference database (SRD) applications include data of physical or chemical properties and are readily extensible to similar systems.

By supporting the production, collection, and dissemination of critical reference data in the phys-ical sciences, NIST fulfills its role having primary responsibility in the Federal Government for providing reliable scientific and technical reference data and for coordinating activities on a na-tional scale through National Standard Reference Data System (NSRDS, http://www.nist.gov/srd/nsrds.cfm) established in 1963 and under the Standard Reference Data Act (Public Law 90-396, http://www.nist.gov/srd/upload/publiclaw90-396.pdf) of 1968. These data activities are conducted by scientists at NIST and much of this data is disseminated through 80 NIST scientific and technical database applications. For more information about the Stand-ard Reference Data (SRD) program at NIST and details about the many individual SRD Data-bases, see http://www.nist.gov/srd/ and supplementary information contained in the appendix of this document: "NIST Data Activities Overview" and "NIST Data Activities List" Examples of NIST SRD databases available free online are SRD 169 NIST Chemistry Web book (http://webbook.nist.gov) and SRD 17 Chemical Kinetics Database (http://kinetics.nist.gov). Ex-amples of NIST SRD databases available for purchase are SRD 31 Phase Equilibria Diagrams Database (http://www.nist.gov/srd/nist31v32.cfm) and SRD 84 FIZ/NIST Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (http://www.nist.gov/srd/nist84.cfm). Both of these databases available for purchase have free demonstration versions

• Archival data sets (that are not part of the SRD program) are data sets that take informa-tion that NIST is ready to make available to the public to enable rapid dissemination of scientific and technical data information to the scientific community and the public.

3. Standards and Guidelines for Physical Sciences and Technology

• SRD Applications – NIST seeks to facilitate the collection, evaluation, archiving, and public dissemination of scientific, technical, and engineering data and inform-ation in the physical sciences in response to the national roadmap established by the National Science and Technology Council’s 2009 report “Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society.” This report can be viewed at http://www.nitrd.gov/About/Harnessing_Power_Web.pdf.

• Computer Forensics and Software Assurance – NIST seeks to support the com-puter forensics and software assurance communities in several key areas including development of tools to support computer forensics tool testing; development of methods for identifying software on disks, in memory, and in network traffic; de-velopment of material to support the static analysis tool exposition (SATE); and material for testing computer forensics and software assurance software.

• eNIST objectives - to eliminate paper and to automate manual, labor intensive ad-ministrative activities. The CNST employs cutting-edge web-based technologies to develop custom applications in support of CNST. The applications developed are not available in commercially developed packages (Commer-cial-Off-the-Shelf, or “COTS”) and therefore need to be developed in-house.

These applications automate tasks and decrease the administrative requirements of the technical and support staff, while increasing responsiveness to customers and implementing a secure eNIST paperless environment. As a result, CNST sci-entists are able to spend more time working in their labs than working at their computers to fulfill administrative requirements. Several web-based applications have been created to store and track all of CNST’s publications, travel and project status reports provided to management. Management is able to obtain access to the information it needs easily, and the administrative burden on the technical staff has been decreased. Generation of required paperwork has been automated, removing that responsibility from the CNST support staff. The applications also serve as a data warehouse for publications and reports, providing backups of all

PAGE 22 OF 106 SB1341-15-RP-0018

data stored. The project reporting database was developed as a web-based applic-ation; it has been created to reduce the duplication of the storage of information while providing management with immediate access to project data without inter-rupting project staff. This application contains all project-related information such as funding, milestones, staff, progress, etc. for all of the CNST projects in the database. Access to the data is provided by user roles; i.e., director/deputy director, group leader, project leader, and staff.
