As part of the BEST platform, the contractor shall provide an AI-based OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function that provides a PDF extraction solution. The solution shall be able to extract data tables from bioanalytical reports in a PDF format at greater than 90% accuracy level to allow for reviewers to access data in a format which is amenable to filtering specific data sets, performing calculations, and other analyses that are critical to their processes.

The government should be able to leverage this solution for other projects that are part of the Remote Regulatory Assessment (RRA) initiatives. RRA allows FDA investigators to perform FDA-regulated sponsor site inspections remotely. It includes voluntary interactive evaluations (such as remote livestreaming video of operations, teleconferences and screen sharing) in addition to requests to review records and other information under existing statutory or regulatory authority.

Throughout the pandemic, the FDA has used these tools, domestically and abroad, to help the agency conduct oversight, mitigate risk, and meet critical public health needs. The BEST platform described above is an example of RRA. The government will not pay any costs incurred in crafting bids, nor is the government obligated to issue and award based on this solicitation. See Attached document for complete details.
