- Description
- The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Morgantown, WV has a requirement for sensor pads for foot ground reaction force array measurement. This system must include: sensor area 400 x 250 mm; Local resolution 4 sensors/cm2- sampling rate 50/60 Hz; Measuring range 10-1,200 kPa; USB connection to personal computer; Hysteresis 3%; Temperature range 10 ? 40 deg C; Maximum total force 180,000 k/N; Cable length 5 meters; Operating system Windows XP. In addition data collection software including Dynamic and static pressure distribution measuring; Mode for automatic and manual storage of measurement data; Integrated overview display for maximum 10 measurements; Display of each frame I rollover process (ROP); Maximum pressure picture (MPP); display of sensor value for each sensor; Center of pressure (COP) display; Maximum pressure ? time curve; Vertical force ? time curv; Contact area ? Time curve; Screen copy; 1:1 printout of the pressure picture; Dynamic color display of the ROP; and MPP in 3d. This is a notice of intent to sole source in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The only known vendor with equipment meeting our needs is the 2 x Emed-m/E Sensor System manufactured by Novel Electronics, Inc. The measurement reliability is critical to fitting our neural net models for prediction of hand forces based upon foot pose and pressure distributions. The sensor mat must handle significant shear forces which can overstress the forcels and damage the row and column array; leaving blanks in the pressure array. Emed is a capacitance sensor system that measures absolute values and is tolerant of shear forces of the magnitude our subjects will experience. A system that does not have to be recalibrated for each subject is desirable. No solicitation is available. Responsible sources that believe they have a similar product that would meet our needs specified above are encouraged to identify their alternate product and provide complete specifications for consideration. The Contracting Officer will accept information for 15 days from the posting date of this notice. Forward all information demonstrating your capabilities to Denise Rains, Reference #000HCC35-2006-32609, CDC, NIOSH, 315 East Montgomery Avenue, Spokane, WA 99207 or email Drains@cdc.gov. The Government will review all product information provided and determine whether other equipment would meet our needs. Information received in response to this notice will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. If no affirmative responses are received within 15 days, negotiations will be conducted with Novel Electronics, Inc. as the only source and a purchase order will be issued without any additional notices being posted. All perspective contractors must be registered in the Central Contractors Registration - www.ccr.gov to receive an award.
