The Building Blocks (BB) initiative addresses NIF™-CompliantOff-The-Shelf products, including:–Self-Verification Criteria for candidatere-usable off-the-shelf products–BB Catalog on a public web-site, providing a database of certified BB entries available for inquiry by member and public entities

The NCOIC’s main purpose is to help accelerate the implementation of NCO/NEC capability

– One method: provide systems engineers with knowledge of existing products that may serve as candidate components for specific solutions

Self-Verification & Submission assists customers in obtaininginteroperable solutions


Self-Verification & Submission

Candidate Building Block submissions include both Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) and Government Off the Shelf (GOTS) components / systems– Submissions may be offered by NCOIC member

companies, government agencies, and non-members

– Candidate submissions are accepted if “Building Code” NIF™v2 Pattern definitions exist at time of submission or are planned to be developed by NCOIC at a future date

NCOIC Certification

NCOIC’s Building Blocks certification program– NCOIC NIF™v2 compliant “Building Code” Patterns will

include Product Verification Test Requirements

– Candidate product verification testing performed by companies / entities who submit candidate products for Certification

– Subsequent to the completion of the product verification testing, the test results will be evaluated

– If successful, a license to use the NCOIC logo for a “NCOIC Certified Interoperable Building Block”, will be granted

– Third party administrative support for the NCOIC’s Certification Program will be provided by The Open Group

Accessing the Building Blocks

The NCOIC’s Building Blocks Catalog will be available in a “read only” mode via the NCOIC’s public web-site



Accessing the Building Blocks

This access is consistent with the NCOIC’s goal of offering open access to its deliverables

The Value of the Approach

A primary goal of the NCOIC is to assist all our members, designers and providers of NCO goods and services, and their customers who specify and use NCO goods and services, to effectively enable NCO in their enterprises.



The Value of the Approach

The Building Blocks initiative supports this goal by:– Providing an easy-to-use location for finding a wide range

of certified NCO goods and services• Available to members and non-members alike

– Assisting with identification of candidate system elements, as specific solutions are being developed

– Supporting technology portfolio inputs, e.g.,• Roadmaps for technology upgrades• Preplanned system upgrades
