DESCRIPTION The U.S. Census Bureau is seeking to learn more about vendor capabilities and core competencies as it relates to performing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to capture handwritten names and additional handwritten information from digital images. In the event of a requirement, the vendor will be expected to be a subject matter expert in OCR of handwriting, and especially the use of OCR for capturing handwriting historical images obtained from scanned microfilm. Given the complexity of capturing handwriting and the volume of data needed to be captured (e.g. more than 850,000,000 names and responses to capture), the interested vendor would need to have the experience and ability to provide complete data. The vendor must be able to work effectively with the collaborative team of Census Bureau researchers to develop the OCR and apply it within the Census Bureau’s computing environment. It is envisioned that this requirement will be for a base period of 12 months, plus options for an additional two twelve-month period of performance. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FOR MORE DETAILS.
