- Draft Performance Work Statement This is a Sources Sought Notice ONLY. Requests for copies of a solicitation will not receive a response. This Notice is for planning purposes only and is not a Request for Proposal or Request for Quotation or an obligation on the part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for conducting a follow-on acquisition. NIST does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Notice, or otherwise pay for the information requested. No entitlement or payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by NIST will arise as a result of submission of responses to this Notice and NIST use of such information.

In the absence of such identification, NIST will assume to have unlimited rights to all technical data in the information paper. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS EXIST AT THIS TIME. Background: The Advanced Network Technology Division (ANTD) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is collaborating with the Intelligent Systems Division (ISD) at NIST to develop a best-practice guideline for deployment of wireless technology in smart manufacturing environments. Much of ANTD's efforts have concentrated on channel propagation modeling in industrial environments and developing evaluation methodologies to measure the impact on control performance of imperfect wireless transmissions of plant control updates. The objective of this requirement is to perform a survey of the manufacturing industry for representative wireless control use cases. Requirement: The contract shall deliver a report on representative use cases for wireless control application in the manufacturing industry and develop new simulation software modules within the twelve months after the award of the contract. Please see the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) for more details. Interested parties shall describe the capabilities of their organization as it relates to the services described above and in the attached PWS. NIST anticipates issuing a Request for Quotation and awarding a contract in the third quarter of FY2017. NIST is seeking responses from all responsible sources, including large and small businesses. The small business size standard associated with the NAICS code for this effort, 541512, is $27.5 Million. Please include your company's size classification and socio-economic status in any response to this notice. After results of this market research are obtained and analyzed, NIST may conduct a competitive procurement and subsequently award a contract. Companies that can provide such services are requested to email a written response describing their abilities to hnw6@nist.gov no later than the response date for this sources sought notice. The following information is requested to be provided as part of the response to this sources sought notice: 1.Name, Address, DUNS number, CAGE code, and point of contact information of your company. 2.Any information on the company's small business certifications, if applicable. 3.Description of your company's capabilities as they relate to the services described in this notice. 4.A description of your company's previous experience providing the services described in this notice. 5.Indication of whether the services described in this notice are currently offered via your company's GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts, Government-wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), or other existing Government-wide contract vehicles; and, if so, the contract number(s) for those vehicles. 6.Any other relevant information that is not listed above which the Government should consider in finalizing its market research. Responses are limited to a total of ten (10) pages. The responses must be in MS Word format. Pages shall be 8½-inch x 11-inch, using Times New Roman 11 Point Font.
