Description

The U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis contract under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) with the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, for the development of algorithms and software tools for automated data processing and evaluation of thermophysical and thermochemical property data for pure compounds and mixtures to be implemented into ThermoData Engine (TDE) developed by Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado. General skills involve computer programming and database design and management skills combined with extensive experience in chemical thermodynamics, thermophysics, chemistry and chemical engineering. Specialized skills include demonstrated familiarity with the TRC data system systems and, in particular, TRC SOURCE data system. SOURCE data system is a major relational archival system developed and maintained by the Thermodynamics Research Center of the Physical and Chemical Properties Division to store ?raw? experimental data for thermophysical, thermochemical and transport properties of pure compounds, binary and ternary systems as well as chemical reactions. SOURCE data system is also a powerful tool to produce various compilations and critical evaluations of data in both hard-copy and electronic forms. This work is targeting further enhancement of the ThermoData Engine (TDE) developed by the Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology implementing the concept of dynamic data evaluation to provide on-demand recommended thermophysical and thermochemical property data. Colorado School of Mines has key personnel involved in the development of the software system for the ThermoData Engine. This personnel is very familiar with the structure and operation of the SOURCE data system, a comprehensive storage facility supplying data to the TDE. They have also been immediately involved in the development of the Guided Data Capture software and ThermoML which are at the ?core? of the current contract. Colorado School of Mines key personnel have a unique combination of skills and experience to provide the solutions for all the tasks related to the proposed Work. The contract period is October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. This procurement is being conducted per FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (NTE $100K). This synopsis is issued for information only. No competitive solicitation is planned. Information submitted in response to this notice will be used solely to determine whether or not use of competitive procedures to fulfill this requirement would be in the Government's best interest and must address qualifications pertinent to this requirement. Terms and Conditions can be found on http://www.arnet.gov/far/ and agency level protest procedures can be found on web site http://oamweb.osec.doc.gov/conops/reflib/alp1296.htm. Hard copy in full text available from office address and phone number listed in notice. Anticipated award date October 1, 2004.
