SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction/Background for 

Potential Joint Venture Partners (JVPs) 

NTIS, an agency of the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, is seeking 

proposals from potential JVPs that can 

work with NTIS to assist Federal 

agencies to leverage innovative ways to 

collect, connect, access, secure, analyze, 

disseminate and enable effective and 

efficient use of data to address unique 

and complex national data priorities. 

Federal agencies are currently 

addressing national issues in such areas 

as fraud detection, improper payments, 

public services, health and safety, 

cybersecurity, technology transfer, 

supply chain optimization, and internal 

requirements to operate more effectively 

and efficiently. Addressing these 

mission-critical data issues requires new 

capabilities in machine learning, 

artificial intelligence, predictive 

analytics and other advanced data 

science expertise. See OMB M–19–18 1

and Executive Order 13859.2 Federal 

agencies that need the data services of 

NTIS and its JVPs require holistic 

solutions that may require the 

application of multiple data and 

technological capabilities in new and 

innovative ways in order to support the 

agencies’ strategic plans and missioncritical priorities. Many of the 

challenges facing Federal agencies are at 

the intersection of data science and 

information technology (IT) 

modernization. Solutions often require 

related capabilities in emerging 

technologies, innovation, change 

management, and agile delivery 

methods. Mission areas that NTIS 

supports include, but are not limited to, 

fraud detection, public services, health 

and safety, technology transfer, and 

national security. 

Activities conducted by NTIS and its 

JVPs in support of other Federal 

agencies may include: (1) Designing, 

testing, analyzing, or demonstrating the 

application of Federal data and data 

services, either alone or in combination 

with non-Federal data; (2) based on 

Federal data or the use of Federal data 

in some combination with open Federal 

data and non-Federal data, facilitating 

the creation of suites of products, 

platforms, and services that assist 

Federal agencies in meeting the needs of 

businesses, innovators, government 

agencies, and others; and (3) otherwise 

enhancing data discovery and usability, 

data interoperability and standards, data 

analytics and forecasting, or data 

infrastructure and security. Projects that 

can be accomplished by a Federal 

agency via a commercial-off-the-shelf 

(COTS) procurement or acquisition 

action will not be conducted by NTIS 

with its JVPs. 

Organizations that enter into joint 

venture partnership agreements with 

NTIS, pursuant to this notice, will have 

opportunities to engage in early 

discussions about projects with NTIS 

and the sponsoring Federal agencies and 

may subsequently compete for the 

opportunity to work with NTIS to 

provide data services on specific 

projects under a merit-based selection 

process established by NTIS. 

Under a separate notice that will be 

published in the Federal Register 

(‘‘assistive technologies JVPs notice’’), 

NTIS will accept proposals from 

interested private-sector organizations 

to become a JVP eligible to work with 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 4, 2021 / Notices 41961 

NTIS on projects involving assistive 

technologies. JVPs selected under the 

instant notice will not be eligible to 

compete for assistive technology project 

opportunities with NTIS unless they 

also apply and are selected under the 

assistive technologies JVPs notice. 

Organizations that enter into JVP 

agreements with NTIS pursuant to the 

assistive technologies notice will not be 

eligible to compete for data innovation 

opportunities with NTIS unless they 

also apply and are selected under the 

instant notice. Organizations selected 

under the instant notice will be eligible 

to work with NTIS on projects involving 

the types of data innovation described 

in this notice. 

The Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) has delegated to NTIS 

authority to operate as a permanent 

clearinghouse of scientific, technical, 

and engineering information and to 

collect and disseminate such 

information. 15 U.S.C. 1152. The 

National Technical Information Act of 

1988, codified at 15 U.S.C. 3704b, 

additionally accorded the Secretary, 

acting through NTIS, the authority to 

enter into joint ventures, and declared 

the clearinghouse to be a permanent 

Federal function that could not be 

privatized without Congressional 

approval. The National Technical 

Information Act of 1988 was amended 

by section 506(c) of the American 

Technology Preeminence Act of 1991 

(Pub. L. 102–245), which directed NTIS 

to focus on developing new electronic 

methods and media for information 

dissemination. 

As the nature and scope of 

information and data dissemination 

have changed, NTIS has continued to 

focus on innovations to address these 

changes. New capabilities are available 

in application program interfaces (APIs) 

as conduits for data dissemination that 

have significantly improved data use, 

interoperability, and accessibility. 

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, 

and predictive analytics are 

transforming how data are analyzed and 

managed to support national priorities 

in fraud detection, emergency 

preparedness, cybersecurity, citizen 

services, and in promoting health and 

public safety. 

Using its joint venture authority, NTIS 

has established a unique joint venture 

partnership program that has resulted in 

a number of innovative data service 

projects across the Federal government 

that allow other Federal agencies to 

address national priorities more 

efficiently and effectively. 

Specifically, through NTIS’ joint 

venture partnership program, NTIS will 

(1) accelerate private-sector use of 

Federal government data, either alone or 

in combination with non-Federal data, 

for the development and use of new and 

improved data products and services, 

and (2) accelerate the Federal 

government’s use of data to improve the 

effectiveness and efficiency of Federal 

programs and thus improve mission 

outcomes. 

The NTIS joint venture partnership 

program enables NTIS to structure joint 

venture partnership agreements with the 

private sector and interagency 

agreements with Federal agencies that 

offer the best combination of speed, 

agile applications development, and 

performance for delivering integrated 

innovative data services and solutions. 

NTIS manages joint venture projects in 

a highly flexible, interactive, and 

collaborative manner with its customer 

Federal agencies and JVPs throughout 

the project lifecycle. 

Joint ventures are not procurements or 

acquisitions and do not result in 

contracts under the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR). Joint ventures involve 

the investment of resources by NTIS and 

its JVPs, with a formal agreement for the 

sharing of revenues associated with the 

venture. The joint venture partnerships 

provide data services that allow 

customer Federal agencies to accelerate 

the time it takes to achieve mission 

outcomes. The joint venture 

partnerships accomplish this by using 

innovative and creative methods of 

collecting, connecting, accessing, 

securing, analyzing, disseminating and 

enabling effective and efficient use of 

Federal data and non-Federal data. 

II. General Scope 

Technical Requirements 

Proposals must address at least one of 

the following two technical 

requirements by demonstrating the 

proposer’s capabilities to deliver datadriven innovations. The proposer must 

explicitly state in the proposal which 

area(s) are addressed. 

1. Innovations in the use of data and 

data services to leverage data as a 

strategic asset to improve business 

processes and mission outcome. The 

proposal must include a description of 

how the proposer would contribute 

innovations in the use of data and data 

services. The scope of this area includes 

data science and engineering 

innovations and the ability to integrate

solutions associated with (a) making it 

easier to use data through data cleansing 

and improved interoperability; (b) 

searching, discovering, combining, 

analyzing, disseminating, and using 

Federal government data, either alone or 

in combination with non-Federal data, 

in new ways; and (c) implementing 

innovative and secure data 

infrastructures to advance artificial 

intelligence (AI) and machine learning 

for enabling cybersecurity, and creating 

cloud based analytic data platforms that 

deliver capabilities for data analytics 

through highly scalable infrastructure. 

2. Analysis, interpretation, and 

understanding of data, as well as 

meaningful application of the analysis 

and interpretation, to automate business 

processes, predict future events and 

prescribe potential solutions. The 

proposal must describe how the 

proposer would use AI, machine 

learning, and robotics to improve the 

analysis, interpretation, understanding, 

and application of either static or real 

time data to achieve innovations in 

business processes automation, supply 

chains, and overall mission outcome. 

Additional Requirements 

NTIS will enter into joint venture 

partnership agreements in accordance 

with all relevant provisions of 

applicable Federal law. Any proposal 

that has the appearance of 

circumventing the FAR or other agency 

acquisition requirements will be 

determined to be non-responsive to this 

notice during the initial phase of the 

selection process and will not be 

considered further. Proposers must 

acknowledge and address the following 

terms in their proposals: 

• Data received from a Federal agency 

and from non-Federal organizations as 

part of a project performed by NTIS 

with a JVP may only be accessed and 

utilized for project purposes consistent 

with all applicable statutory and 

regulatory provisions and all relevant 

agreements. 

• Federal agencies and private-sector 

organizations that provide data as part 

of a project performed by NTIS with a 

JVP will retain ownership of the data 

rights. Federal agencies and privatesector organizations may be requested to 

provide licenses to use the data for the 

purposes of a project. 

• At a minimum, systems, programs, 

and applications included in the 

proposal must comply with the 

documented security assessment and 

authorization (A&A) policies issued by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), standards and guidance issued 

by the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST), and the Federal 

Information Security Modernization Act 

of 2014 (FISMA) (44 U.S.C. 3551 et 

seq.), before the systems, programs, and
