Development of Flukebook Coordinated Across Five NOAA Fisheries Science Centers.

The NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is seeking a sole‑source award to Wild Me (Conservation X Labs) to enhance and maintain the Flukebook platform across five NOAA Fisheries Science Centers. The effort will involve advanced algorithm development, user‑interface improvements, bulk data import capabilities, and a final report. The work must integrate seamlessly with existing NOAA systems and be delivered within a one‑year performance period (09/01/2026‑08/31/2027). • Implement new algorithms: MiewID retraining, viewpoint‑agnostic MiewID, gray‑whale aerial detector. • Upgrade processing pipelines and user‑interface: bulk import, matching UI enhancements, exemplar identification, edit‑permission controls. • Ensure full compatibility with current NOAA infrastructure and open‑source distribution of enhancements. • Deliver a comprehensive final report incorporating cross‑Center user feedback. • Sole‑source justification: Wild Me is the only vendor with the required Flukebook platform and expertise.
