Subscription for Access to a Business Research Database

The purpose of this solicitation is to acquire access to an online database containing research reports of various industry and technology sectors. Reports that are authored by expert analysts who continuously monitor attributes such as size, scope, impact, growth trends, outlook projections, forecasts, needs and gaps, economic and demographic forces and influences, players, and product segmentation. Interactive visuals and sector comparisons provide a complete picture of each industry's landscape.

Business research databases streamline access to high-quality market and economic information used by all of NIST:

• As a jumping off point to understanding how NIST research/products have impacted the economy (to show return-on-investment for the R & D costs)
• To identify companies/players/potential collaborators in specific industries, overviews of the landscape, gaps, forecasts, trends, opportunities and measurement needs for various technologies
• To provide strong economic data that justify funding requests NIST-wide for everything from new research projects to major lab equipment upgrades and laboratory renovations
