SRD31 Content Development and Software Support

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from contractors capable of providing the full range of scientific evaluation, content development, workflow management, graphics digitization, and software development/support services necessary to produce and maintain the Standard Reference Database (SRD) 31 – Phase Equilibria Diagrams (PED). The services include scientific literature searching, critical scientific evaluation and PED figure development, editorial review for guideline compliance, graphics digitization and editing, workflow management and production coordination, and software development, maintenance, and customer support. Some key points to consider are: • The contractor will need to conduct bimonthly searches of primary scientific literature and identify new phase diagrams suitable for SRD 31. • The contractor will need to provide critical scientific evaluations and written commentaries of manuscripts selected by NIST. • The contractor will need to digitize phase diagrams into standardized interactive graphics using NIST-provided custom software. • The contractor will need to manage and coordinate all PED workflow steps and track PED figures from manuscript identification through publication. • The contractor will need to maintain and incrementally improve the PED Content Management System (CMS) and associated customer products.
