NNG15SD00B / 31310018F0162 Page 3 of 14 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WORK ALTERNATE I (a) The title of this project is: Intranet Search Engine Google Search Appliance Replacement (b) Summary work description:

Background

For the past eight years, the NRC relied on the Google Search Appliance for its Intranet search needs. Unfortunately, Google announced in 2017 that they were discontinuing their Search Appliance product, with license renewals officially ending in 2018. Many companies around the world are looking for alternatives to replace their Google Search Appliances (GSA).

Due to the lack of ongoing support for the GSA, the Agency intends to acquire a replacement search tool as soon as possible.

Objective The NRC is looking to acquire a replacement search tool, software product or search appliance to replace the Google Search Appliance. Since the content searched is internal and not exposed to the internet, a cloud base solution is not feasible since the NRC Intranet is behind the NRC firewall.

Search solutions shall include either an on-premise search appliance or, software that can be installed on NRC managed servers.

An NRC web administrator configurable, Commercially Available Off The Shelf (COTS) solution that has been successfully deployed and used by other Federal customers is preferred in order to streamline and expedite the Authority to Operate (ATO) and ultimate deployment to the production environment.

For software only solutions, compatibility with Windows 2016 or Linux operating systems is preferred.

The replacement search tool shall be delivered within 30 days of award. Annual maintenance shall start as soon as the tool is delivered.

Annual maintenance is required for the initial two years as well as 3 one-year option periods of follow-on annual support.

Minimum Requirements

  • Unlimited collections to provide separate searches for different communities, websites or topics
  • Shall have the ability to handle a minimum of 20 queries per second
  • Crawl multiple (more than 2) number of web servers by combining all content needed into one or more collections
  • Ability to crawl PDFs, JavaScript and Flash/Shockwave content and links to ensure all website content is indexed
  • Crawl a variety of server types to index data served by HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher or file server
  • Duplicate detection to index only one copy of identical documents
  • Include/exclude tags to allow selection of what portions of web pages are indexed, so template text can be ignored
  • Ability to insert a single page to the index at any time to keep it current
  • Data load Application Programming Interface ( API) to allow data to be pushed into the appliance
  • Categories of content can be defined to allow for finer control over searches
  • Relevance rank is controlled through separate controls to determine how search results are ranked
  • Predefined HTML templates to enable easy creation of the search interface

NNG15SD00B / 31310018F0162 Page 4 of 14

  • XML stylesheet support to allow creation of custom user interfaces using standard Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) transformations
  • Spell check to correct query misspellings using user configurable vocabularies
  • System configuration through a Web Administrators Console that allows Administrators to perform monitoring and configuration tasks. Examples of such could include tasks such as checking indexing status, optimizing web searches, check for errors, are any errors, check and set the crawl rate, view statistics, and others
  • Key Match - The ability to use match key search terms (called keywords).
  • The ability to build a search frontend using eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT)
  • Basic & Advanced Search - Provide both basic search (limited user search options) and advanced search (users ability to limit search results using multiple paramaters such as Reactor Type, Location, publication date, Agency Office for example.)
  • Autosuggest and Related Queries
  • Active / Passive option for High Availability
  • If an appliance - Plug-and-Play: As an all-in-one hardware, software and support search solution that comes pre-configured, to provide value without adding administrative overhead or the need for costly professional service providers
  • Enterprise Search - Index and retrieve information from Intranet, and information stored throughout the organization in databases, folders, Windows and Network File System (NFS) file servers and commonly used file types (including Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat).
  • The ability to run more than 1,000 typical queries a minute with the ability to index and retrieve from 20,000 documents to tens of millions of documents using a single server configuration (End of Clause)

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE ALTERNATE In accordance with FAR 52.211-8, the search tool solution shall be delivered within 30 days after award.

The maintenance of the tool during the base period shall be for two years after the tool has been delivered.

This contract shall commence on September 28, 2018 and will expire on October 27, 2020. The term of this contract may be extended at the option of the Government for three additional option periods.

Base Period: September 28, 2018 to October 27, 2020 Option Period 1: October 28, 2020 to October 27, 2021 Option Period 2: October 28, 2021 to October 27, 2022 Option Period 3: October 28, 2022 to October 27, 2023 (End of Clause)
