Imotions, Inc.

Imotions, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit software development company based in Boston, Massachusetts, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering biometric research hardware, software licenses, and measurement platforms to federal agencies through small-ticket purchase orders, with no participation in set-aside vehicles or large IDIQs. The vendor competes full-and-open across the federal market and does not hold SBA designations.

Imotions' capability portfolio centers on eye tracking, emotion tracking, electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), and physiological sensor systems for research and training applications. Representative work includes a $197 thousand purchase order from the Office of Naval Research (July 2025) for a psychophysiological measurement suite supporting cognitive and immersive technologies research at John C. Stennis Space Center; a $115 thousand Total Small Business purchase order from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (August 2026) for a biometric suite supporting virtual reality studies under the Public Safety Communications Research program, bundling EEG, electrooculography, heart rate variability, and electromyography sensors compatible with multiple VR headsets; and a $113 thousand sole-source purchase order from Naval Sea Systems Command (March 2023) for the Smart Eye Pro DX eye tracking system with two-year support. Additional work spans annual renewal contracts for Smart Eye Tracker system support ($49 thousand from the Technical Center in September 2026), software module licenses for the Department of Veterans Affairs ($13 thousand, 2023), and an iMotions Core subscription for Medical Command ($46 thousand, December 2022).

Customer concentration clusters with the Department of the Navy, which accounts for roughly 47% of recent award volume (Naval Sea Systems Command, 5 awards; Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, 5 awards) and anchors 55% of combined potential value across all agencies when the Office of Naval Research and Naval Air Warfare Center are included. The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Child Health and Human Development represents the next material civilian customer (4 awards, $176 thousand). Across twenty-four distinct federal agencies, the vendor has generated $2.1 million in combined potential value, with awards heavily weighted toward Navy biometric research applications and smaller, scattered efforts across VA, HHS, and Army commands. Activity has remained sparse and episodic — four awards in 2022, six in 2023, one in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026 — with three awards (combined potential value $167 thousand) reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor subcontracts minimally; recent work includes a Phase I software delivery to Riverside Research Institute (July 2025) under the Objective Prediction of Team Effectiveness project, representing the only named sub-award in the portfolio. Imotions operates as a pure software and sensor-hardware vendor rather than as a systems integrator or large team lead.
