This requirement is for enhancements to the existing toolkits that have already been tested for verifying conformance to FIPS 201-2/SP-800-73-4 to make it into a robust industrial grade toolkit that can be used by all accredited labs to test PIV cards, PIV Middleware and PIV Card Personalization Systems. KnowledgeBytesis the only vendor capable in providing the required enhancements because they have developed a complete formal model of the entire FIPS 201-2/SP800-73-4 specifications. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511- Custom Computer Programming Services. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
