    Brief

    This is a non-competitive contract award notice. The procurement for connectome neuron proofreading services is being awarded without competition due to technical reasons where only a particular supplier possesses the specialized capability to provide the required services. The work involves detailed verification and correction of neuron reconstructions in connectome datasets, requiring expertise in neuroimaging data analysis and connectomics. Qualified suppliers should have demonstrated experience in neural circuit mapping, image segmentation validation, and connectome proofreading methodologies.
