AI Contract Overview
The Federal Emergency Management Agency through its Recovery Reporting and Analytics Division seeks high-resolution aerial imagery services to support disaster response and recovery across the Continental United States and U.S. territories. The contractor must deliver color, rectified orthophotography imagery with a minimum ground sample distance of 7.5 cm within 48 hours of tasking, weather permitting, covering both urban and suburban areas. Annual refreshes of historical blue-sky nadir imagery are required, with all data retained for at least two years. The contractor must also provide ad-hoc imagery collection for areas beyond standard coverage, supporting up to 10,000 square miles annually, with the same 48-hour delivery window. All imagery and derived analysis outputs must be accessible through secure, standards-based web services compatible with Esri ArcGIS Online and shareable with FEMA partners, ensuring exportability for the duration of the retention period. The contractor is required to embed Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms to autonomously identify structural damage and debris in post-disaster imagery, providing detailed outputs including damage category, confidence scores, timestamps, and geographic coordinates, with capabilities for human review and override. Quarterly reporting on modeling methodologies, training datasets, and accuracy rates is mandatory. An AI Compliance and Risk Management Plan must be submitted and continuously updated in alignment with the DHS Guide for Procuring Artificial Intelligence Version 1.1, addressing AI use policies, bias mitigation, data handling, safeguards, compliance with Unbiased AI Principles, and user resources. All data collection, processing, and delivery must adhere to federal data security protocols.
