The VISN 2 Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center, has an anticipated requirement for services to conduct a research project for Eye Tracker Equipment, as outlined in the attached Statement of Work (SOW). The Department of Veterans Affairs Network Contracting Office (NCO) 2 is conducting a market survey in search of responsible sources in order to determine the acquisition strategy for this potential procurement. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code for this requirement is 423430 Computer & Computer Peripheral Equipment & Software Merchant Wholesalers.

Intent This is a request for proposal by NCO 02 to solicit proposals from qualified vendors to purchase an MRI-safe eye tracker system for use in the 3T MRI Scanner in suite GD-200 of the JJPVAMC, with the ability to be transported to the MIRECC Lab, room GC-03A. It is needed to monitor eye movements during fMRI tasks and behavioral experiments. We would like to purchase SR Research s EyeLink system: to our knowledge, no other product meets our system requirements; and SR Research is the sole source manufacturer and distributor of EyeLink. SR Research s EyeLink equipment is MRI safe, state-of-the-art, and is used at our academic affiliate, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. We have VA IRB approval to use this equipment at Mount Sinai and the JJPVAMC. II. Scope of Service We request that a contract be set up with the vendor SR Research Ltd to purchase the equipment in the attached quote using funds from Project ID: MHBA-014-16S, Project Title: Neurobiology of Affective Instability in Veterans at Low and High Risk for Suicide (PI: Hazlett, E). III. System Requirements To our knowledge, only SR Research s EyeLink meets the below system requirements See p.2 for sole source letter from SR Research, stating they are sole distributor & manufacturer of EyeLink Eye-tracking Camera + 2 Host PCs An MRI-safe video-based eye-tracking camera is needed, with a sample rate of 2000 Hz, accuracy down to 0.15 degrees, resolution down to 0.01 degrees, and real-time data access of 1.4 msec. Must output X, Y, and pupil size data. 2 PCs are needed that can interface with the camera using gigabit Ethernet. The PCs must run a custom real-time operating system and have a specialized Ethernet hardware to be compatible with that operating system. 2 PCs are needed, one for the MRI suite, and one for the behavioral laboratory. With a desktop mount, the PC must weigh 2.1 kg, with dimensions 29 X 18 X 9 cm. Camera Mounts A long-range mount is needed for the MRI suite, allowing eye-to-camera distances of 60-150 cm A desktop mount and head support is needed for the behavioral laboratory setting. This mount must be easy to transport, require no electronics near the participant s head, support binocular or monocular eye tracking, and boast a configurable 32 x 25 degree trackable range. Battery Box MRI-safe batteries needed to power the eye-tracker inside the MR room. The battery box must be a lead-acid battery system that is MR-conditional and compatible with the eye-tracker. It must use two LEMO connectors to the camera and illuminator as output. Software: Experiment builder We require an experiment delivery system designed to assist in creating eye tracking paradigms. Must be cross-platform compatible for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and have millisecond precise timing of video, audio, TTL and response devices. Must allow for manipulation of text, image, and video clips, as well as drawing of text and graphical objects. Must integrate seamlessly with data visualization software. Software: Data Viewer We require a system that quickly visualizes data and allows for the creation of data reports that are formatted to statistical analysis programs. Must be able to show a movie of the trial with eye movements overlaid, to superimpose saccade and fixation scan-path information over an image, and to visualize eye data over time. Must support both static and dynamic interest areas, and generate static and dynamic heat maps for selected trials or groups of trials. Must be able to output eye sample, fixation, saccade, interest area, or trial-based reports for statistical analysis, as well as output time series reports. Must seamlessly integrate with the experiment builder. IV. PRICE/COST SHEET: See page 3 for quote from vendor
