The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for content development and software support of the SRD31 Phase Equilibria Diagrams (PED) database. SRD 31 is a rigorously evaluated resource compiling phase-equilibrium data from primary scientific literature, serving as a critical tool for researchers and professionals in the field.

Required services encompass systematic bimonthly reviews of newly published scientific literature related to phase equilibria. Subject-matter experts in thermodynamics and phase-equilibrium science are expected to evaluate and curate this information. In addition to content development, ongoing software support for the SRD31 database is also needed to ensure the integrity and usability of the platform.

This notice is intended for informational and planning purposes to assess the capabilities of potential vendors, and does not imply any forthcoming solicitation or contract award.
