Triaxial Accelerometer & Algorithm development

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking procurement of comprehensive technological services focused on triaxial accelerometer development and algorithmic data analysis. The agency requires a sophisticated wearable triaxial accelerometer meeting 21CFR890.5360 standards, capable of being worn on multiple body locations and designed for pediatric research applications. The solicitation encompasses a comprehensive electronic clinical outcomes assessment (eCOA) platform that can capture quantitative speech and vision impairment data using validated algorithms through a FedRAMP-compliant cloud service. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in algorithm development and analytics specifically tailored to interpreting pediatric research data. The pre-solicitation notice (Solicitation #75N95025Q00129) requires interested companies to submit detailed 10-page capability statements electronically to Frederick.weddington@nih.gov by January 21, 2025, at 9:00 am ET, highlighting company capabilities, staff qualifications, employee count, and relevant contract experience.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations and is classified under NAICS code 541990 with a $19M size standard for professional, scientific, and technical services. The procurement timeline includes one base year with four potential one-year option periods, suggesting a potential total contract duration of five years. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements imply a potentially substantial contract value for the selected vendor. The solicitation targets vendors capable of providing integrated technological solutions combining hardware (accelerometer), software (eCOA platform), and advanced analytical capabilities. Interested companies must demonstrate significant technical expertise in pediatric research technologies, data collection methodologies, and algorithm development to be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
