This federal contract award is for the procurement of force sensors for a pedestrian dummy. The $76,709 firm-fixed-price purchase order was awarded to Humanetics Innovative Solutions, Inc., doing business as First Technology Safety System, by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under a sole-source justification.
The sensors are required for the VA Cleveland Medical Center to measure force distribution and joint responses during impact scenarios, supporting research in injury prevention, rehabilitation, and safety improvements. Humanetics was determined to be the sole source due to the unique characteristics of the required sensors, including comprehensive load measurement, multi-axis load cells, high precision, and industry standard compliance. The company has no authorized distributors, further justifying the direct procurement approach.
The award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle. There is no set-aside designation for this procurement.
