AI Contract Overview

The Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has issued a sole source award under solicitation DOIFFBO260048 for the enhancement and development of the SCRIBE software application. This proprietary tool, originally written in C++ and migrated to Electron JS, is used for aerial survey data compilation, processing voice recordings, correcting GPS flight tracks, and validating metadata for wildlife observation programs. The primary objective of this effort is to integrate functionality from a second proprietary application, SUMMIT, into SCRIBE to improve operational efficiency, increase data accuracy, and reduce manual verification requirements. This acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 13 and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), justified by the contractor's unique qualifications and intimate knowledge of the software's architecture. Because SCRIBE was co-developed with government employees and is not available on the commercial market, the current contractor is deemed the only source capable of performing the integration without significant risk or delay. The work is performed in Falls Church, Virginia, and is managed by Contracting Officer Melissa Niemi and Program Officer Mark Koneff. While specific pricing and performance dates are not disclosed, the award is based on the contractor's specialized expertise and a determination that the price is fair and reasonable based on previous awards.

1. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service¿s (USFWS) Division of Migratory Bird Management (DMBM) seeks a qualified contractor to provide maintenance and continued development of the SCRIBE app which is used to transcribe data collected during aerial wildlife surveys into text files suitable for further analysis. We also seek ongoing development and integration of the SCRIBE app with the SUMMIT app to make the workflow easier for end users. The SUMMIT app is used also by aircrews to summarize observation by observer for quality control and training purposes.

DMBM will provide the contractor with a detailed description of additional requested features to be added to SCRIBE, any bugs in current software identified during ongoing operational testing, and some changes to the user experience and workflow to be further developed. The SCRIBE app and SUMMIT app are now seamlessly integrated to support a comprehensive workflow for the user to enter data, import files and summarize these data using filters. The contractor will also provide technical support to employees of the USFWS that have technical problems with the SCRIBE or SUMMIT application created by Coffield Web. The contractor will work directly with the employee to diagnose and address the problem and, when needed, correct bugs in the app that may be causing issues.
