DOC NIST - Automated Invoice Review Tool - MRAS

The Department of Commerce (DOC), in collaboration with the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to support the effective administration of the CHIPS Incentives Program. This initiative is part of the broader effort under the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors for America (CHIPS) and Science Act of 2022, which allocates $50 billion for semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing. The program aims to bolster American competitiveness in semiconductor technology while investing in the domestic workforce.

The primary objective of this contract is to develop an Automated Invoice Review Tool that enhances DOC's ability to manage and oversee operations within the CHIPS program. The proposed solution will leverage automation, integration, and intelligent analysis to streamline processes. Key functionalities include processing and analyzing large data volumes from program recipients and internal sources, conducting advanced reporting for decision-making support, generating automated risk scores based on predefined criteria, supporting case management activities such as documentation and tracking, and ensuring compliance with federal data protection standards.

This contract seeks a modern, scalable platform that improves operational efficiency while increasing oversight capacity. The solution should be user-friendly yet robust enough to handle complex data sets and provide insightful analysis. By implementing this tool, DOC aims to strengthen program integrity through enhanced monitoring capabilities.

The place of performance for this project remains flexible; work may occur at either government or contractor sites depending on specific tasks. This flexibility allows for tailored solutions that meet both logistical needs and project goals effectively.
