The National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry

in the development of technology . . . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes,

to ensure product reliability . . . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries."

NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's

competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the

agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and

provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce,

industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government.

As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied

research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and

related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's

research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303. Major technical operating units

and their principal activities are listed below. For more information contact the Public Inquiries Desk, 301-975-3058.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Computer Systems Laboratory (CSL)

develops standard and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers and

related telecommunications systems to advance the effective utilization of information technology

resources. As part of the overall federal effort to establish a single face to industry for conducting electronic

commerce, CSL has been designated as the organization responsible for coordinating the development of

Federal Implementation Conventions (ICs) for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ICs are defined by

functional-area experts who create and select options from standard EDI Transaction Sets to yield the

implementations to be used for practical EDI. These ICs are made available to federal agencies and

industry by electronic means and this Special Publication Series.

838 Trading Partner Profile

Functional Group ID= 1 U

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Trading Partner

Profile Transaction Set (838) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This

transaction set can be used to request, change, verify or transmit business profile information to or from a trading

partner. This information can be used by the receiver to facilitate the processing of the sender's business

transactions. The transaction set may be used to convey government survey information, business classification,

general survey information, summary supplier ratings, changes in the EDI environment information, tax

information, entity relationships, and general business profile information to update automated information data

bases between trading partners.

Notes:

t. Each business entity desiring to do business with the Federal Government must use this transaction set to

register as a Federal Government Trading Partner. A Subordinate business element who intends to do business

directly with the Federal Government should register in its own right and should not use the registration of its parent company.

2. Use this transaction set either for an initial request for registration, or to cancel or change previously transmitted

data. Use also to transmit a duplicate request for registration when the original was not received by the Federal

Government. Use also to submit an annual, or such other update (i.e., when mandated changes to certifications or

representations compel an update), as may be required by the Federal Government, of Vendor Registration

information to the Federal Government including the annual requirement for submitting certifications and

representations.

3. Data maintenance has been submitted to ASC X12 asking for the inclusion of the DMG and SPI segments in the

transaction set. Addition of those segments will enable the Federal Government to obtain additional registration

and security classification information, needed to support internal vendor registration and mailing list applications.

If approved those segments will be available for use in ASC X12 Version/Release 3060.

4. Applicants will also use this transaction set to indicate that they have read and understood the "Federal

Electronic Commerce Acquisition Instructions." Acknowledgment of this document must be transmitted in a

separate iteration of the l/PLA/030 segment in the l/LX/020 loop of the transaction set. Failure to send this

segment will result in the application being rejected.

5. Use this transaction set to register as either an EDI capable or a non-EDI capable trading partner. When

registering as an EDI capable trading partner, use the l/TXN/360 segment to indicate your transaction set

capabilities. When registering as a non-EDI capable trading partner, do not use the l/TXN/360 segment.

6. All Federal Agencies shall use this transaction set to register to do business using Electronic Data Interchange

(EDI).

2. The full name and address of the registering party, including the registering party's

DUNS number, is required in the initial request for registration. Once successfully registered, the registering party

will be referred to by its DUNS number. In that situation, only the N10 1/03/04 data elements need to be

transmitted to convey the 'address' of the registered party.

3. The full name and address of other cited parties is required in an initial request for

registration. Where indicated, the DUNS number of specific cited parties is also required. If a DUNS number is not required for a cited party, but the party has one, it should be provided. In all instances where the DUNS

number of a cited party is provided, it will be used in subsequent transmissions to refer to those parties.

4. Use, when possible, in transmissions subsequent to the initial registration, only

N10 1/03/04 to refer to a cited party.

Syntax Notes: 1 At least one of N102 or N103 is required.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of

a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the

subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NIST under the sponsorship of

other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures published by the Department of Commerce

in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized

requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of

the characteristics of the products. NIST administers this program in support of the efforts of private-sector

standardizing organizations.

Order the following NIST publications—FIPS and NISTIRs—from the National Technical Information
