This implies an IT system requiring minimal manual data entry for search parameters and maximum use of hyper-links, pull-down menus, and/or graphical user interfaces (GUIs). It also implies that the IT system will display relevant data content in such a way as to minimize "jumping around" (maximize data on a single screen). The data architecture design must facilitate the user to flow through the tool in a seamless, intuitive manner commensurate with logical market research/analysis process flow. Drilling-down from an initial data pull for relevant market research data should generally not take more than two clicks (or similarly, a pull-down menu selection). The market research tool must be able to accomplish the following: 1. Conduct searches on FPDS-NG database that returns total dollars obligated to small businesses and total small business eligible dollars for a given time frame for at least five previous fiscal years. Display the results by FY year on a single screen. 2. Return parameters in number 1 within a single user-defined category consisting of at least 30 NAICS codes and PSC codes combinations with a single data pull that requires no further manipulation. Ability to name the category/grouping with a custom name and save the search - to include all search parameters - according to that name. 3. Ability to return parameters in number 1 by any user-selected field available in FPDS-NG, and save any search by a custom name. 4. Display all saved searches in an easily identifiable, user-selectable list. Initiate search directly from the list without manual parameter entry. 5. Download search results in an excel (csv or other) or .pdf format. 6. Lookup NAICS and/or PSC code descriptions by either number or key word. 7. Ability to create and populate user-customized list of companies directly from search results. 8. Produce SBA goaling report with or without exclusions applied (user selectable) for five consecutive previous fiscal years. Goaling report must be based upon FPDS-NG data no more than 120 days old. Display the results by FY and by civil agencies, defense agencies, and independent agencies on a single screen. Generate a list of contractors to which the dollars have been obligated in a fiscal year for a specified agency and fiscal year with no more than a single click from the goaling report results screen. Ability to filter the list by socioeconomic indicator, set-aside type, and state simultaneously via pull-down menus or equivalent GUI, and county. Ability to search the generated list by keyword. List must have fields containing contractor name, DUNS number, NAICS code, and total obligated dollars. If filtered as small business, amount set-aside must also be included. Display contractor profile meta-data (i.e. SAM profile), contract numbers on which the contractor is currently performing or has performed stratified by agency and distinguished as GSA schedule or not, on a single screen with no more than a single click (pull-down or equivalent) from the results list.
