DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT

BACKGROUND
The Analysis of Integrated Resources (AiR) project is a highly visible project that involves intramural, research management services, and extramural cost tracking. As part of this project the vendor is expected to develop and maintain the AiR database, which is an internal NIMH accounting interface, as well as the associated QlikView visualizations. Both the AiR database and QlikView system have a production environment and a development environment. The development environment is utilized for testing updates prior to promotion to production.

The AiR database is distinct from NIH enterprise systems (including nVision and IMPAC II) and other commonly used systems at NIH (such as SOFie and POTS), which feed into QlikView. It provides a data entry point for information that cannot be sourced from other systems. There are currently 20 visible tables for data entry.

QlikView uses the data provided from these systems and transforms it into a QlikView Worksheet (QVW) to allow for better data presentation for budget analysts, administrative officers, and other individuals. Currently, the data flows into the QVW via ETL processes and NIH managed QlikView Data (QVDs). The data is then displayed in the QVW on 16 visible sheets with a current total of 40 table and chart objects. In addition to the table and chart objects, list boxes are utilized to filter the data and range from 3 to 13 list boxes on the visualization sheets. Text boxes are utilized throughout the QVW for presentation and navigation purposes. There are 2 QlikView reports that are regularly generated to PDF for communication to customers. The QVW and associated files are saved on the NIH network. The QVW distribution, triggers, and reloads are managed on the NIH's QlikView Management Consule (QMC). NIMH's Qlik NPrinting also utilizes data sourced through the QVW.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this acquisition is to procure Analysis of Integrated Resources (AiR) and QlikView Worksheet (QVW) projects.
