Description

NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate a contract on a sole source basis with Xsens North America Inc., El Segundo, CA. The purpose of the contract is for the contractor to supply equipment that would be used for Virtual Home Health Care research project at the National Institute of Nursing Research Advanced Visualization Branch (AVB). One of the main interests of the AVB is to study the ability of a patient to carry out their own home health care, particularly when the patient is newly diagnosed. One aspect of this research is to examine how this ability is affected by their interactions with health care professionals. For this reason, avatars need to be created with realistic motion and behaviors. Otherwise, the interactions will not be convincing, and the subject will not respond as they would for a human interaction. The most effective way to create a realistic interaction is to record a human actor carrying out the appropriate behaviors and then apply these recorded behaviors onto an avatar. In order to perform this recording and transfer of body, face and hand motions a set of compatible software and hardware are required. This compatibility is a limiting factor in the purchasing of the necessary assets. Following review of market available motion capture suits, the Xsens technology is the only known current vendor which meets all requirements for this project. Responses The proposed acquisition action is for items and/or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1 (b). If you believe you can provide the items or services, please forward capability statements to john.alozie@nih.gov by 5pm (ET) on Friday August 23, 2019 and reference solicitation number NIHOLAO-OD3-NOI-5478089. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (21-AUG-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT 877-472-3779 or fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
