- FBO ANNOUNCEMENT: PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ACTION CODE: <PRESOL> CLASSIFICATION CODE: 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing SUBJECT: Enhancements/Modifications to PIV Card Interface and Middleware and PIV Data Model Conformance Testing Toolkits for testing additional requirements introduced by FIPS 201-2 SOLICITATION NUMBER: NB773030-12-03675 RESPONSE DATE: August 8, 2012 CONTACT POINTS: Willie W. Lu, Contract Specialist, 301-975-8259 Chon Son, Contracting Officer, 301-975-8567 DESCRIPTION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Acquisition Management Division, on behalf of the NIST Computer Security Division, intends to negotiate with T-VEC Technologies, Inc., on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR Subsection 13.106-1(b), for Enhancements/Modifications to PIV Card Interface and Middleware and PIV Data Model Conformance Testing Toolkits for testing additional requirements introduced by FIPS 201-2. NIST currently runs a validation program called NPIVP under which: (a) Test results (for conformance to SP 800-73 specifications) pertaining to vendor-submitted PIV smart cards and PIV Middleware are generated by accredited laboratories (b) The Test Results are validated (c) Certificates are issued to vendor products and (d) Approved products are added to Validated Product List to enable procurement of these products by various agencies through GSA. The test results are generated by the labs using a conformance toolkit called PIV Card Interface and Middleware Conformance Testing Toolkit. This toolkit has been developed and provided to accredited labs by NIST ITL's Computer Security Division. With the pending release of FIPS 201-2, the card interface and data model specifications in SP 800-73-3 will be updated to reflect the changes. Correspondingly the toolkit has to be enhanced/modified to test features pertaining to enhanced/modified features in the new release of SP 800-73-3. In addition, NIST has also developed the PIV Data Model Conformance Testing Toolkit which is made available for download from NIST website for all stakeholders. NIST requires extensive enhancements and modifications to the PIV Card Interface and Middleware Testing Toolkit. The objective of this procurement is to enable the accredited NPIVP testing laboratories to continue to perform all tests required to certify products for full compliance with updated SP 800-73-3 specifications using the "PIV Card Interface and Middleware Conformance Testing Toolkit". NIST also requires enhancements/modifications to PIV Data Model Conformance Testing Toolkit so as to test the proper representation of the new objects in the updated SP 800-73-3 specifications on a PIV card. No other vendor has been determined to be able to offer the products/services required to meet NIST's needs. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334516, and the small business size standard is 500 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. The Government will consider responses received by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern) on August 8, 2012. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Willie.Lu@nist.gov. No telephone requests will be honored. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.
