The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agriculture Research Service (ARS) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) requires contractor assistance to update its existing plant finder and interactive map that provides visitors and staff with searchable access to plant collections at the USNA. Users touch a screen to locate various plants on the grounds which are then mapped to show where they are located. The Arboretum has developed seasonal tours to enhance the user experience on the grounds while reducing the need to print brochures.
The ABE was last updated in 2020, the app in 2018. Although ABE is partially usable, without images, the app is no longer AppStore compliant and isn’t available to staff or visitors. Neither ABE or the app can pull, and display images and needs to be updated.
The contractor will perform the following tasks as a part of this engagement:
Update ABE
- Restore images in gallery and popups.
Update to current version of the ArcGIS
- Restore mobile app (images, general AppStore compliance, ability to use latest version of Google Analytics)
- Update in the stores, Google Play and Apple.
Fix images and update the application in AppStudio QT. This ensures the application can be downloaded on newer devices and looks appropriate on all devices and screen sizes.
The period of performance: One Year from date of award.
