AI Contract Overview

The contract involves awarding a sole source, firm fixed price agreement to BBN Technologies Corp. for licensing, software, and hardware maintenance of a proprietary two-channel broadcast monitoring system. The system is critical for the SOJICC program and utilizes unique, trade-secret technology that automatically transcribes and translates real-time audio streams into English from Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, and Western Hemisphere Spanish. This functionality allows users to efficiently search and analyze vast quantities of news content with synchronized video and transcript highlighting, making it impractical to consider other vendors or alter the current system. This procurement is justified under statutory authority that permits non-competitive awards due to the proprietary nature of the system as specified by 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and outlined in FAR 6.302-1. The contract supports continued operation and maintenance of the BBN Technologies Two Channel Broadcast Monitoring System, ensuring uninterrupted service and access to its specialized language and video data mining capabilities. The Department of Defense is the contracting agency, with the office located in Tampa, Florida.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent to award a Sole Source Firm Fixed Price contract for licesing, software and hardware maintenance of a two-channel broadcast monitoring system to BBN Technologies Corp. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)or 41 U.S.C.253(c)(1), as cited in FAR 6.302-1. The configuration and software contained in the Broadcast Monitoring System is proprietary and a trade secret of BBN. The BBN Technologies Two Channel Broacast Monitoring System, is currently in use by the SOJICC program. It is not economically feasible to evaluate other brands, or to alter the current system configuration. The monitoring system is a video data mining system that automatically transcribes the real-time audio stream and translates it into English. Both the trascript and stranslation are searchable and synchronized to the video, so that users can easily sift through vast collections of nesw content in Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and Western Hemisphere Spanish. As the video plays back, the system highlights spoken words in both the original language and the stanslation.
