About this opportunity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a Combined Sources Sought Notice and Notice of Intent to Sole Source for publishing software with specific conversion capabilities. The agency seeks a software solution capable of transforming Microsoft Word and XML input files into multiple output formats, including Adobe InDesign, Section 508-compliant PDF, print-quality PDF, HTML, DAISY Digital Talking Book XML, and EPUB files. NIST currently intends to sole source the contract to Typefi Systems, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b) with NAICS code 513210, but is open to identifying alternate sources through this market research process. Potential respondents must submit comprehensive company details, capabilities, reseller authorization, potential requirement barriers, small business status, and relevant experience by email. Questions must be submitted by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on May 27, 2025, with responses to be anonymized and addressed via a sources sought notice amendment.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, and the potential sole source contractor is Typefi Systems, Inc. located in Winston Salem, NC. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement falls under the Software Publishers NAICS category (513210) and the Information Technology and Telecom Business Application Software as a Service PSC category. The current notice is not a commitment to issue a solicitation, award a contract, or request a quotation, and NIST explicitly states it will not be responsible for respondents' costs associated with preparing responses. The notice was posted on May 21, 2025, with a response deadline of June 4, 2025, suggesting a relatively short turnaround time for potential contractors to express interest and demonstrate their capabilities. The procurement process appears focused on thorough market research to validate the potential sole source approach.
