AI Contract Overview

The National Library of Medicine awarded a contract in 1999 to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to develop an application programmer interface known as the Insight Toolkit (ITK) along with the initial implementation of a Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (SRT). The project focuses on streamlining ITK’s existing code, enhancing the consistency of its internal software architecture, expanding documentation on algorithms and methods, and creating educational examples related to ITK. The University has been providing these technical services for over two and a half years and is continuing efforts to refine various components such as the ITK spatial objects and statistics libraries, as well as the "blox" spatial modeling element. They also demonstrate ITK’s integration with visualization and user-interface software through practical, publishable examples. The National Library of Medicine plans to extend the contract for an additional twelve months on a sole source basis with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill due to their unique expertise and prior work on the project, which makes them singularly qualified to perform these services efficiently without causing duplication or delays. The extension will continue the development and refinement efforts already underway, ensuring continuity and progress in the Visible Human Project Image Processing Tools initiative. This action is not open for competition and is authorized under federal acquisition regulations permitting sole source awards when justified.

Full Description

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) awarded contract N01-LM-0-3501 on October 19, 1999, to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, CB 1350 440 W. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-1350, to assist in the development of an application programmer interface (API) known as the Insight Toolkit (ITK), and first implementation of a Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (SRT). It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to negotiate with the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill on a sole source basis to extend the current contract number N01-LM-0-3501 for twelve months to continue the overall goals of the project, which includestreamlining the existing ITK code, improving the consistency of the internal software architecture, extending documentation of the existing algorithms and methods, and generating examples suitable for inclusion in courseware and educational materials associated with ITK. The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is currently providing the required services, and will continue to improve and refine the ITK spatial objects library, to improve and refine the ITK statistics library, to improve, refine, and expand the "blox" spatial modeling element in ITK, and to demonstrate the integration of ITK with visualization and user-interface software through concise publishable examples. The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has been performing the required services for the past two and a half years under the current contract. This requirement represents a continuation of the services they are currently providing to the NLM. By virtue of their expertise and experience gained through their development and implementation under the current contract, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is uniquely qualified and the only source capable of carrying out these required services in the required time frame and without duplication of cost to the government and undue delays. This notice of intent is not a Request for Proposals (RFP), nor is an RFP available. Based on authority cited in 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) (FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)), award to the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill without full and open competition is planned. See Numbered Notes 22 and 26.
