About this opportunity
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries is seeking the development of a compact, low-cost, wide-angle underwater stereo imaging system to support fishery-independent surveys and stock assessment efforts. The solicitation requires a prototype camera system with specific technical specifications, including two cameras with different viewing angles, a minimum depth rating of 500 meters, and compatibility with machine learning and data processing pipelines. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in underwater camera hardware design, battery systems, marine logistics, and basic machine learning capabilities. The government will retain rights to use and modify the developed hardware and software, with a strong preference for open-source solutions. Proposals are due by March 28, 2025, at 1400 EST, with the total contract period spanning one year from the start of performance.
This contract opportunity is set aside for total small business participation and falls under the NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. The place of performance is within the United States, specifically targeting the South East Fisheries Science Center's operational needs. While specific award values are not detailed in the solicitation, the contract includes multiple milestone deliverables throughout the development process, such as design consultation meetings, progress reporting, equipment testing, and a final working prototype at readiness level 7. Contractors will be expected to provide regular progress reports and collaborate closely with NOAA Fisheries to meet the technical requirements of developing an automated, end-to-end optical data acquisition and analysis pipeline for marine research purposes.
