Computerized Dynamic Posturography System

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of a Computerized Dynamic Posturography System from Engineering Acoustics Inc. in Casselberry, Florida. The system is an experimental prototype designed for research applications at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334510 for Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing and will follow FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for commercial items. NASA has determined that Engineering Acoustics Inc. is the sole provider capable of delivering this specialized system. The equipment includes advanced motion platforms, force plates, safety features, and visual display technologies including head-mounted displays with eye tracking capabilities.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of NASA's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for other qualified organizations to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested parties must submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing to the contracting officer, Cara Craft, by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 30, 2025. While organizations may submit capability statements, NASA retains complete discretion over whether to conduct the procurement competitively or proceed with the intended sole source award. The system is specifically an experimental prototype without current certifications or regulatory approvals, suitable only for carefully controlled research environments. Delivery is estimated at three months after receipt of order, with the customer responsible for freight charges and requiring specialized lift-gate equipped transportation for the palletized equipment.
