NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE - Integrated Wearable Wireless Electromyography (EMG) and 3-D Motion Capture Systems

The United States Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901(e)(2), implemented by FAR 13.501(a) - "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements". The justification is based on the fact that no other vendor can meet the Government's requirement. See below for required specifications/capabilities:

• The systems must be capable of simultaneous data capture from at least 16 EMG sensors at 1.5 kHz and 16 motion sensors at 200 Hz. The EMG sensors must be available with electrode leads in varying lengths, up to a minimum of six (6) inches in length, to accommodate placement under Soldier equipment. The system must also possess the ability to: (1) collect and view synchronized data from any combination of the included wireless EMG and motion sensors, compatible wireless biomechanical sensors, third-party biomechanical data collection systems, and other analog data sources; (2) apply filters to incoming raw signals and view filtered signals in real-time; (3) seamlessly switch between laboratory and field modes of data collection, so the subject can change from a laboratory environment to a field testing environment with no physical interaction with sensors required; (4) collect, view, and analyze data for any combination of standard biomechanical and novel configurations of the motion sensors; and (5) batch export raw and/or processed data in text and c3d file formats. Additionally, the time required to transfer data from the datalogger to desktop system must be on the order of minutes, and the time required to fully charge system components must be under 4 hours.

The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Noraxan USA, Inc., 15770 N Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite 100, Scottsdale, AZ 85260 for two (2) integrated wearable wireless electromyography (EMG) and 3-D motion capture systems.

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency, only if received by the closing date and time of this notice. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
