AI Contract Overview
This contract involves a project focused on using high-resolution Whole-Body MRI (WBMRI) to support a Natural History study by providing specialized diagnostic interpretation for a cohort of 200 cases involving participants with Spondyloarthritis. The primary objective is to develop a computer vision pipeline capable of detecting and quantifying inflammation in WBMRI scans. To achieve this, the contractor will generate structured image annotations necessary for training and validating deep learning models. The work will be conducted independently of the Government, requiring the contractor to supply all necessary personnel, materials, equipment, and facilities not otherwise provided by the Government. The scope encompasses management duties such as project tracking, communication, reporting, and coordination of contract activities, as well as timely updates and notifications to the Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and Program Task Leader (TL). Work assignments will be issued through formal requests specifying task details and requirements. The MRI sequences to be reviewed include multiple STIR imaging sequences across various body regions, including whole body, sacrum, pelvis, spine, knees, and feet. Data recording will utilize a RedCap survey tool, and the contractor is expected to recommend modifications to requirements or timelines as necessary. The contract is a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541990 and is managed by the National Institutes of Health with performance expected in Maryland.
