Quick Summary
The U.S. Government (Department of the Army) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for an AI-powered Mosquito Surveillance System (MSS). This effort seeks to lease, deploy, operate, and support four MSS units at designated Eighth Army installations in South Korea to enhance force health protection. Responses are due June 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves providing four integrated, field-deployable smart trap systems capable of attracting and capturing mosquitoes, automatically imaging specimens, and performing AI-based species identification with at least 95% accuracy for medically important vector species (e.g., Anopheles, Culex tritaeniorhynchus, Aedes albopictus). The systems must transmit capture data, species identification results, and trap status to a cloud-based, Government-accessible dashboard in near-real-time (within 1 hour).
Units will be placed at Camp Bonifas, Warrior Base, Dagmar North Training Area (DNTA), and Rodriguez Live Fire Complex (RLFC). Contractors are expected to recommend optimal locations, subject to approval by the installation Public Health Entomologist.
