Demonstration that the Contractor s Unique Qualifications or Nature of the Acquisition Requires the Use of the Authority Cited Above (applicability of authority) The Ubisense system that will be installed is to track and analyze the movement of VA residents living at the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital Community Living Center. This system will add to the Ubisense tracking equipment already installed in this facility and support Career Development Award research activities. There is proprietary software within the Ubisense system that includes the sensors and tags that are only compatible with each other and the other elements within the current system. The Ubisense system will track and prospectively monitor in real-time the residents during their daily living activities. Through extensive laboratory testing the following salient characteristics must be satisfied by the system: 1. Low power, ultra-wide band based location signaling with radios operating in the 6-8GHz range to avoid interference from WiFi-based communication devices and medical equipment. 2. Track location tags at a spatial resolution better than 6 in 3 dimensions. 3. Dynamic changes in tag update rates to improve tracking accuracy and battery life. Update rates must vary between 0.001Hz and 20Hz or better. 4. Integrated telemetry channel for data transfer and tag communication including button presses & LED signals. 5. Tag must be a module that has been FCC approved for integration into other devices and provide means of capturing and transmitting data from these devices over the telemetry channel. 6. Provide 2D & 3D real-time visualization of the environment and the locations of the tagged items within the environment. 7. Easy creation of 3D smart spaces for detection of tag entry/exit from different areas. 8. API which allows customization and creation of new user applications.
