- Description
- The NASA Ames Research Center (NASA Ames) is hereby soliciting information aboutpotential sources for the purchase of three (3) eye tracker systems. These systems willbe used as part of an urgent interim software package delivery to the end users forintegrated system verification and validation.The applicable NAICS (North AmericanIndustry Classification System) code for this acquisition is 334519, Other Measuring andControlling Device Manufacturing. The coordinating size standard is 500 employees. This is a request for information only and does not constitute a commitment, implied orotherwise, that NASA Ames will take procurement action in this matter.This preliminaryinformation is being made available for acquisition planning purposes only, subject toFAR Clause 52.215-3, entitled Request for Information or Solicitation for PlanningPurposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal, and it is not to be construedas a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract, nor will the Government payfor the information submitted in response to this request. This request is subject toreview or cancellation at any time. NASA Ames is requesting information that responds toany or all of the topics listed below.NASA Ames invites responses to this inquiry for the purpose of purchasing three (3) eyetracker systems to support a task order under the Intelligent Systems Research andDevelopment Support contract (ISRDSNNA08CG83C). The purpose of the task is to undertakeadvanced development of the first prototype version of the Investigator Aid system. Thisversion shall incorporate both improvements in existing routines and the ability toincorporate foreign language speech to text, visual, and specialized physiological datasuch as eye tracking and thermal imaging. The work is part of a longer-term researcheffort for the development of improved information validity assessment. The eye tracker systems must meet the following technical requirements/specifications:-Compatible with Windows XP (32 or 64 bit) or later operating system-Use of multiple cameras (from 4 to 8 cameras)-Flexible in camera position and allows for flexible deployment environments such asautomotive, cockpit, room, in front of the screens-Adjustable with interchangeable focal length lens-Sampling rate between 30Hz to 120Hz-Adjustable head box that allows tracking of a subject in a non-intrusive environment andallows free and natural movements.-Tracks multiple people-3D 6 DOF (6 Degree of Freedom) gaze tracking-Accuracy of < 0.5 degree on gaze tracking-3D 6 DOF (6 Degree of Freedom) head tracking-Accuracy of < 0.5 degree (< 1mm) on head rotation-Tracks head movements at least in range 60 degree horizontally (allowing head turnangles while eye tracking)-Detects and tracks the following values: Eye Position, Gaze, Pupil Diameter, Saccades,Fixations, Blinks, Eyelid Opening-Unaffected by external illumination conditions-Compatible with contact lenses, glasses, and sunglasses-Uses at least corneal reflection and the head model based approach-Provides gaze direction calculated by iris and pupil position-Customizable coordinate system-Allows for users definition of gaze zones in 2D and 3D world-Provides live visual feedback which includes gaze, head motion in 3D-Capable of streaming real time data to UDP and/or TCP and text log file at the same time-Allows for customizable network client and provides sample code to do so-Remote control functionality for automation-Software development tool kit (SDK) for application development-Allows for integration with scene cameras-Allows for methods for time synchronization with other applications-Compatible with MatLab for custom analysis developmentThe NASA Ames Research Center is seeking capability statements from all interestedparties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), VeteranOwned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically UnderutilizedBusiness Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate levelof competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the purchase of three (3)eye tracker systems meeting the above requirements. The Government reserves the right toconsider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), orHUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto.No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sitesfor the release of any solicitation or synopsis.Interested offerors/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet theabove requirement should submit a capability statement of five (5) pages or lessindicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein.The requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. Acommercial item is defined in FAR 2.101.This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as acommitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited.
