- Description
- Operational Contracting, US Air Force Academy intends to award a sole source purchase order utilizing simplified acquisition procedures to TNO Human Factors, Department of Skilled Behavior, The Netherlands. This service is being acquired for the Department of Engineering Mechanics, HQ USAFA/DFEM. The TNO Tactile Torso Display Device (TTTD) is a vest that contains small vibrotactile transducers (similar to the vibrating batteries in a cell phone). This vest can be used to supply different types of information to the wearer. To signal someone to look upward and to the left for a target, a transducer on the upper left chest of the wearer could be stimulated. Multiple transducers could be activated to indicate a direction or some type of imminent danger. The TTTD hardware and controlling software enable the researcher to investigate different uses of this technology. Supplies and/or services are available from only one responsible source. No other type of supply or service will satisfy agency requirements. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to meet this requirement. This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive proposals. If no response is received by 23 August 2004, to the effect that comparable supplies and/or services are available that would be more advantageous to the Government than obtaining these supplies and or services though a sole source procurement with TNO Human Factors a sole source award will be made.
