Charlotte, VT for an upgrade to our Digital Bio-Potential Amplifier (DBPA)-1 24 channel portable Electroencephalography (EEG) recording system ((16 bits) (event related potential)) to add eye-tracking and integration of software that uses a new eye-tracking technology. This upgrade is being procured as a commercial item in accordance with the procedures in FAR Pt. 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and FAR Pt 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The upgrade will be compatible with the Sensorium equipment already in use in the research study conducted at USUHS. To limit the variables within the research study, it is vital that all systems are compatible with the Sensorium equipment already in use. These are customized items and are set to USUHS requirements.

Sole source determination is made in accordance with: FAR Part 13.106-1 Soliciting Competition (b) Soliciting from a single source (1) For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. The mission of USUHS is to provide the highest quality education programs in the health sciences to those selected individuals who demonstrate dedication to a health profession career in the Uniformed Services. As such, it is essential USUHS provide the necessary supplies required for our students and researchers to become successful doctors and nurses and to be able to provide the best care possible for our soldiers.
