- Description
- Notice Type: Notice of Intent � Sole Source 1. �Description: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), intends to negotiate, on a sole sources basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), Schwarz Forensic Enterprises (SFE), 1372 230th �LN, Winterset IA 5027, to procure contractor support services to extract joint and palm information from a set of sequestered photographs with developed latent friction ridge impressions. This will allow NIST to subset the resulting data and create�one of the first and largest palm and joint friction ridge impression public databases. Schwarz Forensic Enterprises have access to the derived and raw data and have been successfully trusted in keeping it sequestered. No other source is in possession of this data. 2. Background: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Information Technology Laboratory, Information Access Division, Image Group has a need for contractual support for identifying regions of digital scans and photographs of objects processed to expose latent friction ridge impressions that depict palm and non-distal phalanx (i.e., medial and proximal phalanxes) friction ridge data. As part of the Intelligence Advance Research Project Activity (IARPA)�s Nail?to?Nail (N2N) Challenge, NIST acquired thousands of latent and exemplar friction ridge images. In turn, NIST released a portion of this data as an open dataset entitled NIST Special Database (SD) 302 and has provided updates to the dataset making it more useful for the community, including by adding annotations from Certified Latent Print Examiners (CLPEs). In terms of latent friction ridge impressions, NIST SD 302 contains only distal phalanxes. However, the entire friction ridge area of the hand, including palms, interdigital area, and medial and proximal phalanxes, are useful in biometric applications. Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above shall clearly identify their capability to do so in writing on or before 7 July 2023 at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Please email response to Yolanda McCray@ yolanda.mccray@nist.gov. This notice of intent is not a solicitation. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether competitive procedures could be used for this acquisition.
