About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is seeking information from eligible performers who can upgrade and improve the Combined Logical Estimation Application for Rapid Results (CLEARR) predictive capability. The improvements include expanding the number of databases and data sets used, incorporating more rigorous AI/ML methodologies for better prediction ability, and adding functionality to broaden the types of output. The contractor will also be responsible for maintaining the CLEARR tool, including regular updates to databases and software programs, and refining interfaces based on user feedback.

List of products and services to be provided:

  1. Software development expertise in toxicology and chemical property value prediction.
  2. Modification of CLEARR to add new components and modify input/output interfaces.
  3. Knowledge of toxicology and applications to predictive tool development.
  4. Expertise in software development methodologies for predicting physical and chemical properties.
  5. Familiarity with open-source, Government-available and other physical-chemical property data sets and predictive or computational capabilities.
  6. Expertise in refining and updating interfaces associated with user feedback.
  7. Incorporation of performance and operational functions.
  8. Ability for batch processing.
  9. Chemical search methodologies beyond chemical name, CAS number, synonym, or structure.
  10. Incorporation of AI/ML methods and techniques.
  11. Enhanced Read Across.
  12. Applicability to toxicology predictions.
  13. Increased/decreased toxicity with respect to chemical structure changes.
  14. Acute toxicity values (e.g., LD50, LCt50).
  15. Physical or Chemical Property value predictions.
  16. Incorporation of additional databases, data sets, capabilities.
  17. Open source and Government use capabilities, databases, data sets not already included.
  18. EPA, PubMed generated capabilities not already incorporated.
  19. User-generated or user-obtained data, incorporated into CLEARR by the user.
  20. CLEARR Maintenance.
  21. Update incorporated databases on a regular basis as new information is released.
  22. Update open source and other incorporated software programs already employed in CLEARR.
  23. GUI updates and related.
