These assessments are clinically vital for identifying traumatic brain injuries (TBI), evaluating cognitive readiness, and establishing baseline cognitive profiles.

The Government is assessing the availability of sources capable of performing the requirement for a period of up to nine months beginning 03 December 2026. The Government seeks information regarding industry capability to meet the requirements without unacceptable disruption to mission operations.

The contractor is Controller Bay, LLC, 615 E 82nd Ave, Ste 300, Anchorage, AK 99518. This modification will allow the Government to increase the IDIQ Ceiling and extend the Period of Performance (PoP) by 9 months. This modification is a limited, time-sensitive phase-out action required to support the orderly phase-out, transition of the program and final termination of the Army NCAT program as program services transition to a successor neurocognitive assessment platform managed by the Defense Health Agency (DHA).

This notice is issued solely for market-research purposes only. It is not a solicitation, request for proposal, request for quotation, commitment by the Government, or authorization to incur proposal-preparation costs. The Government has not made a final acquisition-strategy determination.
