- Description
- This is a notice of intent of the VA Maryland Health Care System to negotiate sole source with SR Research Ltd, 5516 Main Street Ontario, Canada to provide an Eyelink II, eye movement measurement system, in accordance with all contract terms and conditions. The Eyelink II is used for the collection of oculomotor data. It is unique in that it measures eye position data in two planes (vertical and horizontal) simultaneously using a camera system with high sampling rate (500 Hz). The camera is head mounted which makes it very easy to calibrate the system and less vulnerable to noise induced by head movements. This system allows for gaze-contingent eye monitoring, which is another critical requirement of the study. The equipment is user-friendly and less vulnerable to head movement artifact. This project will include studies conducted at the Baltimore VA, Dallas VA, and Maryland Psychiatric Research Center (MPRC). The MPRC and the Dallas VA have already installed Eyelink II in their labs. For the valid conduct of the study, it is crucial that the same instrument system is used across different sites. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 ?Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.? NAICS code is 339112. Size standard is 500 employees. Solicitation packages are not available and telephone requests will not be honored. This notice is for information only and may represent the only official notice of such solicitation. However, the Government will consider all proposals received within fourteen (14) days after publication of this synopsis. All responses must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer (90C), VA Maryland Health Care System, 10 N. Greene Street, Baltimore, MD 21201, so as to arrive no later than June 22, 2004, 4:00pm. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
