DeBakey VAMC Houston TX VA Research Department has a requirement to purchase a Zeno 3 Layer Walkway (Brand Name or Equal) equipment to measure gait and its variability along with using this equipment to analyze gait. This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought synopsis only. The purpose of this synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their size classification (large business, small business, 8(a), SDVOSB, etc.), relative to NAICS code 334516 (size standard of 500 employees).

The electronic walkway must have three layers with linoleum top cover (or something equivalent) to protect the electronics and sensors from damages. "The electronic walkway must have movement analysis software to instantly calculate the estimated Center of Mass (CoMe) as a postural instability indicator which is easy to use in clinical research and does not require extensive set-up.

SoP illustrates the relationship between single leg support (one leg on the ground by itself) and double leg support (both feet on the ground). "The movement analysis software must be capable of capturing and calculating Center of Pressure (COP) of the single leg COP and the stance COP and display in a way that can be readily understand by the users. "The electronic walkway and its movement analysis software must be capable of measuring transitional movements in a single test. It must require no editing and is easy to administer. The generated data must be available immediately after the patient testing is completed. The electronic walkway and its movement analysis software must be capable of measuring balance and postural control including Romberg, Limit of Stability (LOS), Tandem stance, Sit to stand task and Single leg stance.
