Intent to Award Sole Source: MindGym

The Washington Army National Guard, located at Camp Murray, Washington, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to LUMENA INC. for the MindGym Application and setup. This is a Firm Fixed Price purchase order valued at $245,000 that will be awarded without full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1 provisions. The procurement is specifically for an immersive training solution designed to provide psychological skills training and therapeutic stress-to-rest interventions for the Military Defense Engagement Prevention (MDEP) workforce. The notice was posted on August 21, 2025, and is not a request for competitive proposals since the agency has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy their requirements.

The MindGym system will include biometric tracking and bio/neural feedback capabilities, along with delivery, installation, and lead customer group training services. Following installation, Lumena will organize and host a one-day Demo Day Launch event where key leaders can experience the MindGym technology and learn about its integration capabilities and benefits for their programs. The procurement deadline is August 28, 2025, though this appears to be an administrative deadline since the award is predetermined to go to LUMENA INC. No competitive proposals are being sought, and the sole source justification indicates that no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency's specific requirements. Contractors interested in this opportunity should direct questions to Saul Resendez at saul.resendez.civ@army.mil, though participation is limited to the pre-selected vendor based on the sole source determination.
