### Description

<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong></p>

<p></p>

<p>The NIST Research Library and Museum (Library) within Management Resources (MR), provides scientific and technical information assistance to 3,100 full-time staff and 2,000 researchers across the Gaithersburg, MD, and Boulder, CO campuses. To support NIST&rsquo;s measurement science mission, the Library delivers access to critical electronic resources, including technical publications, e-journals, e-books, and scientific databases. Due to the volume and technical complexity of global mathematical literature, NIST researchers require specialized indexing, abstracting, and peer-critiqued evaluation tools. This acquisition provides campus-wide online access to a mathematical bibliographic and expert review database to enable efficient evaluation of proof validity, citation tracking, and discovery of peer-reviewed mathematical findings.</p>

<p></p>

<p>By facilitating global information discovery, access, and digital resource management, the Library ensures researchers maintain rigorous scientific integrity and technical leadership. NIST has a requirement to provide campus-wide access to a mathematical bibliographic and expert review database. Due to the volume and technical complexity of global mathematical literature, NIST researchers require specialized indexing, abstracting, and peer-critiqued evaluation tools. The Library requires campus-wide online access to a curated mathematics bibliographic and expert review database. Access ensures researchers can evaluate proof validity, trace citation history, and discover relevant peer-reviewed findings efficiently.</p>

<p>NIST has not yet determined its acquisition strategy for this requirement and encourages interested sources to respond to this Notice.&nbsp; See attached document for specific details and instructions.</p>
