STATEMENT OF WORK

Prepared by

The NIST Research Library and Museum for

Subscription Access to a Market Research Database

April 8, 2026

I. BACKGROUND

The NIST Research Library and Museum (aka the Library), through teams focusing on Resources, Access & Data, Outreach & Marketing, and Museum & Archives, provides professional scientific and technical information assistance to a community of 3,000 scientists and researchers (Gaithersburg, MD and Boulder, CO) throughout their research and publishing cycles. The Library provides accurate, high quality, and timely research consulting and information products and ensures that users can discover and obtain the digital and print resources needed to support NIST’s mission. A large part of the information resources made available to the NIST researchers are e-resources in the form of e-journals, digitized versions of NIST technical publications, databases, and e-books made accessible through the Library website. The history of NIST’s accomplishments and contributions to measurement science is captured and made available to researchers around the world through the Library website.

II. OBJECTIVE

The NIST Research Library requires access to a source for current economic statistics, industry trend analysis, and economic projections for a broad range of scientific and technology-oriented industries. This information will be used by the Library to support NIST strategic decision making, to justify funding proposals, to quantify NIST impact, to identify industry needs and potential private sector partners, and for other initiatives.

III. REQUIREMENTS/SCOPE OF WORK

The NIST Research Library requires subscription access to a market research database that provides the following:

1. Web access to a full-text searchable online database of current and annually updated market reports or industry statistics. Customized research reports are not required.

2. Areas the NIST Research Library is interested in include but are not limited to the following; : Aerospace and Defense; Automotive and Transportation; Measurement and Instrumentation; Testing and Inspection; Industrial Automation and Process Control; AI (Artificial Intelligence); IoT (Internet of Things); Bioscience, Biotechnology, & Biomaterials; Forensics; Health and Medical Technology; Energy and Environment; Chemicals, Metals and Materials; Nanotechnology; Robotics; Manufacturing; Information and Communication Technology; Cybersecurity; Security & Surveillance; Semiconductors & Electronics; Energy and Power; Construction Technology, Quantum Computing & Technology.

3. The Contractor shall provide data for the United States and global markets.

4. The minimum requirement is access for 5 users who may share the reports, statistics, and/or information with NIST staff. NIST may be interested in an enterprise wide license for NIST staff depending on pricing.

5. The Contractor shall provide a web location for listings of all their reports that is publicly available for NIST staff to review

6. A licensed user shall have access to the database/platform to retrieve reports such as but not limited to market research, statistics, company information, and/or datasets.

7. Reports and statistics should not be limited to consumer products only and the reports should include current and future year economic projections for each industry.

8. Reports specify the authors of all content, state whether report content is written by industry experts, describe the methodology for how economic projections are determined, and list subject inclusions and exclusions.

9. The Contractor shall provide usage statistics to determine database usage.

10. Reports shall be available in PDF, and/or in a format that is downloadable, savable, and sharable within NIST.

11. The database and/or reports have the ability for users to select and download specific tables/figures.

12. Provide training and technical support.in the use of the database.

IV. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

The Period of Performance shall be for one base year and two (2), one (1) year options.

Base Period: 9/30/2026 – 9/29/2027 Option Period 1: 9/30/2027 – 9/29/2028 Option Period 2: 9/30/2028 – 9/29/2029

V. DELIVERABLE SCHUDLE

All content shall be accessed via the web. If institutional access is provided, the content will be available to NIST personnel via IP authentication. The NIST IP addresses will be provided upon award.

VI. PAYMENT TERMS

The Contractor shall invoice in accordance with Net 30-day payment terms. Payment will occur upon receipt and acceptance of a proper invoice.
