NIST seeks AI tools for technology transfer and patent analysis.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to procure AI-enabled technology transfer tools to support its Technology Partnerships Office. The contractor will provide a software platform that uses artificial intelligence to analyze patent portfolios, identify licensing opportunities, and match technologies with potential partners. The platform must include natural language processing and machine learning capabilities to process unstructured data from patents and scientific publications. NIST requires the tool to be cloud-based with API access for integration. The contract is a small business set-aside under NAICS 541910 (Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling). The period of performance is one base year plus four option years.
