SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:

The Government has a requirement for multiple types of eyetrackers and physiological sensors and associated software. The iMotions product provides individual analysis capabilities of all supported sensors as provided through the original product’s software development kit (SDK). The unique ability to provide analysis based off of the hardware’s SDK allows iMotions to support existing hardware that has been discontinued including the SMI Monitor Eyetracker already present and regularly used in the Government lab. Additionally, it provides a software solution for facial analysis and recognition, as well as supports import of audio and video both during and after experimentation.

iMotions provides the existing software capability with updates and integrated biometric sensors on a common timeline. The iMotions software is also compatible with existing Government equipment in the laboratory. Failure to purchase the iMotions products would require the Government to purchase new underscreen eyetrackers to replace the out of production SMI hardware. New systems and software are typically in the hundreds-of-thousands of dollars. Additionally, no additional training or system down time would be necessary, as the entire Human Systems Integration team is well-versed in using the iMotions suite of sensors and software tools.
