AI Pilot Tool

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Center for Information Technology (CIT) requires an AI-driven medical imaging and analytics platform to support clinical research and diagnostic workflows. This firm-fixed-price purchase order, titled "AI Pilot," seeks a contractor to deploy, integrate, test, train, and provide technical support for the platform within the NIH's Biowulf high-performance computing environment and existing Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS). The solution must ensure secure processing of sensitive health data, integrate seamlessly, and support sustainable adoption. Key tasks include project management, platform deployment and integration, rigorous integration testing and validation, and comprehensive training and operational support for NIH users. Deliverables include various reports, training materials, and meeting coordination over a 12-month performance period from April 2026 to March 2027. The project aims to enable secure AI development, ensure operational continuity, and facilitate knowledge transfer.
