## Description

The purpose of this update is to post responses to questions received. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP) and the national network of MEP Centers to be effective and efficient in the program’s data-driven approach to serving U.S. manufacturers and improving U.S. manufacturing the program needs access to dynamic and relevant manufacturing data.

NIST MEP is a go-to-resource for U.S. manufacturing, so having as much knowledge on the U.S. manufacturing sector as possible is a must. The goal with this tool/service is to gain granularity in our understanding of U.S. manufacturing; from varying industry levels (NAICS), to varying geographical levels (county, state), to different occupational levels (SOC codes).

The general need is for NIST MEP and the national network of MEP Centers to understand data trends in the U.S. manufacturing sector at the previously mentioned levels of detail. Being able to understand any changes that may be coming to the U.S. manufacturing sector and its subcomponents and being able to prepare for those changes are of importance to the program. Anything beyond (but including) data projection that can help the program get in front of changes to the manufacturing sector is of interest. The contractor shall provide a commercial off the shelf (COTS) data tool/service that is hosted on a web-based platform that can be accessed via a site license.
