- Description
- Draft SOW Sole Source Justification The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intends to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order to Focus Ventures for development of computer algorithms for estimating MSD risk factors. The proposed vendor has extensive experiences and expertise in designing computer algorithms for wearable devices. Its research capabilities include bespoke "out-of-the-box" algorithms that work with a high level of accuracy on a generalized working population; and advanced analytics in a simple architecture via its SDK for developers to access easily. Most companies do not have free SDK and out-of-box algorithms for developers. Most critically, the vendor has the exclusive computer algorithm development partnership with the sensor provider for the project. Other vendors do not have the right to work with the hardware provider (Kinetics company) which is essential for the research project. This contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (SAP) and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1).. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, all quotations/responses received within seven (7) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government. A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Any quotation/response should be emailed to William Brannen at VWL0@cdc.gov by 1:00 P.M. EST, May 26, 2016.
