AI Contract Overview
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service intends to sole-source the Electronic Monitoring – Image Library Algorithm contract to CVision AI, Inc., citing that it is the only responsible source capable of meeting the agency’s specific requirements under FAR 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1). This follow-on acquisition supports the continued development, testing, and benchmarking of existing machine learning algorithms for marine species identification and length estimation, as well as the validation of a secure cloud-hosted Application Programming Interface built on CVision’s current Image Library and Tator system. The contract includes a one-year base period with two one-year option periods, extending the existing partnership to enhance algorithm performance and operational workflow integrity. All potential respondents must submit a written affirmative response within fourteen calendar days of the notice, demonstrating clear compatibility with CVision’s existing algorithms, the Tator system, and current workflows through a detailed capabilities statement. Responses are due by 2:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time on August 12, 2026, and must be emailed directly to Contracting Officer Carina Topasna. Failure to provide sufficient evidence of compatibility will result in the government proceeding with the sole-source award to CVision AI, Inc. without further competition, and the government retains full discretion in evaluating responses and determining whether to open the requirement. The procurement is designated as a Small Business Set Aside – Total under NAICS code 513210.

Full Description
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE-SOURCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) hereby gives public notice of the intent to sole-source pursuant to the authority of Federal Acquisition Requirements FAR 6.103-1, as the supplies required by the agency are available from only one responsible source through CVision AI, INC and no other provider will satisfy agency requirements. FAR 6.103-1 and 41 U.S.C. § 3304(a)(1) establishes authority for the government to seek Electronic Monitoring – Image Library Algorithm from CVision AI, Inc. The acquisition is for a follow-on award for existing image collection, processing, and machine learning. The procurement period of performance includes one (1) Base Year and two (2) 1-year Option Periods.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC), Fisheries Monitoring and Research Division (FMRD), Fisheries Monitoring and Operations Branch (FMOB) requires to test, benchmark, and improve the performance of CVision’s existing algorithms for species identification and length estimation. Also, includes validating the architecture for a secure Application Programming Interface (API) hosted in a cloud environment. Therefore, the Government intends to negotiate an order with CVision AI, Inc.
Responses to this notice must be provided within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of this notice. Vendors who believe they can meet this requirement are required to submit in writing an affirmative response demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of the requirement. All written responses must include a capabilities statement that determines the ability to be compatible with existing CVision Image Library Algorithms, Tator system and its current workflow. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bona fide capability to meet the requirement. Failure to submit such documentation will result in the Government proceeding as previously stated. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Affirmative written responses must be received no later than 2:30 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, August 12, 2026. The responses must be submitted via e-mail to the Contracting Officer, Carina Topasna, at Carina.Topasna@noaa.gov.
