AI-powered Mosquito Surveillance System (MSS)

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) Mosquito Surveillance Smart Trap – Lease, Deployment, and Support Services 1. GENERAL This is a non-personal service(s) contract under which the personnel rendering the service(s) are not subject, either by the contract’s terms or by the manner of its administration, to the supervision and control usually prevailing in relationships between the Government and its employees. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, other items, and non-personal services necessary as needed to complete the work within the PWS. 1.1 OBJECTIVE The Government requires the lease, deployment, operation, and support of four (4) AI-powered Mosquito Surveillance System (MSS) units to conduct automated mosquito surveillance at designated Eighth Army installations in support of force health protection. 1.2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE 01 July 2026 – 30 September 2026 1.3. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE Location Quantity Camp Bonifas 1 Warrior Base 1 Dagmar North Training Area (DNTA) 1 Rodriguez Live Fire Complex (RLFC) 1 Final trap placement shall be approved by the installation Public Health Entomologist. The Contractor shall recommend sites that maximize capture of medically relevant mosquito species in areas representative of Soldier living, training, and operational environments. The Government reserves the right to direct relocation of traps if placement is operationally unsuitable. 1.4. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The MSS shall be an integrated, field-deployable smart trap system capable of: • Attracting and capturing mosquitoes using attractants and fan-driven airflow. • Automatically imaging captured specimens. • Performing AI-based species identification with a minimum 95% accuracy for medically important vector species (e.g., Anopheles, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Aedes albopictus, Culex pipiens, Aedes vexans). • Transmitting capture data, species identification results, and trap status to a cloud-based Government-accessible dashboard in near-real-time (within 1 hour of collection). 1.5. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) As determined by the Contracting Officer, a COR will be appointed and identified by letter of designation, a copy of which will be provided to the Contractor by the Contracting Officer. The designation letter states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially regarding changes in cost or price estimates, or changes in delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting order. The COR monitors all technical aspects of the contract and assists in contract administration. The COR is not authorized to obligate the Government. If the work is not written in the contract, the COR is not authorized to request new work. The COR is -- 1 of 5 -- authorized to perform the following functions: assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract, perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance, maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical aspects of the contract, issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, specifications, monitor Contractor's performance and notifies both the Contracting Officer and Contractor of any deficiencies, coordinate availability of Government property, and coordinate site entry of Contractor personnel. 1.6. Base Access: The Contractor shall be aware of and comply with the requirements associated with Installation Access Control. The Government is not liable for any costs associated with performance delays due solely to a firm’s failure to comply with Installation Access Control System (IACS) processing requirements. The Contractor shall coordinate with the COR or designated Government official for base access. 2. TASKS 2.1 Deployment and Activation The Contractor shall: • Deploy, install, calibrate, and activate all four (4) MSS units within 24 hours of the performance start date. • Conduct initial system validation confirming AI identification accuracy and data transmission functionality. • Submit a Deployment Confirmation Report to the COR within 24 hours of completing installation. Standard: All units activated, validated, and operational within 24 hours. (Pass/Fail) 2.2 Operations, Monitoring, and Maintenance The Contractor shall: • Remotely monitor all MSS units daily throughout the deployment period. • Resolve system faults or data interruptions within 6 hours of notification. • Conduct a minimum of two (2) on-site field validation visits to each location to inspect units, verify data accuracy, and confirm system performance. • Maintain all hardware, software, and AI classification components to ensure continuous operation. • Submit a Field Visit Summary to the COR within 3 business days of each visit. Standards: Metric Requirement System Uptime ≥ 98% Unresolved interruptions exceeding 6 hours No more than 2 Field validation visits completed Minimum 2 (Pass/Fail) 2.3 Data Management and Reporting The Contractor shall: • Ensure mosquito capture data, species identification, and trap status are available on the cloud- based Government-accessible dashboard in near-real-time (within 1 hour of collection). • Provide Weekly Summary Reports including mosquito counts, species distribution, environmental observations, data quality metrics, system uptime, and any anomalies. • Provide a Comprehensive End-of-Deployment Report summarizing system performance, surveillance data trends, operational insights, and recommendations for future deployments or system acquisition. -- 2 of 5 -- • Notify the COR immediately of any system degradation affecting data accuracy or timeliness. 2.4 Training The Contractor shall provide training to designated Government personnel on: • Dashboard access and data interpretation. • Basic system troubleshooting and status monitoring. Training shall be coordinat…
