Your responses to the information requested will assist the Government in determining the appropriate acquisition method, including whether a set-aside is possible. An organization that is not considered a small business under the applicable NAICS code should not submit a response to this notice. This requirement is assigned a code of 423450 in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and the size standard for such requirements is 100 employees. Background: In our clinical program we need to be able to monitor physiological arousal and attention, which can be measured with pupillometry and eyetracking. This will allow the investigator to know the exact physiological recording corresponding to each particular stimulus or other input. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), is anticipating awarding a fixed-price non-competitive purchase order to SR Research Ltd. of Ontario, Canada for the purchase of an EyeLink 1000 Plus System as this equipment is the only one found that can be used both remotely and via desktop mounted head stabilization while still meeting the speed and accuracy requirements. Contractor Requirements: The contractor will provide the EyeLink 1000 Plus system which meets the following specifications: • EyeLink 1000 Plus Core unit, High Speed Camera, Host PC/Monitor, cabling, 24 month warranty, perpetual technical support-Regional PC power cord: North American. • EyeLink 1000 -Desktop Mount with 35mm lens and 890 nm Illuminator. • SR Research Head Support, to be used as Chin and/or forehead Rest. • EyeLink 1000 Plus - Remote Mode Camera Upgrade • SR Research Experiment Builder and Data Viewer Software Bundle with Single USB License Key. • Ultra Performance Display PC supplied without Monitor (running windows 7 professional 64-bit), Version 4. Regional PC power cord: North American. • Beng 24-inch LED 144 Hz Monitor. • EyeLink Installation and Training (including travel expense) • Shipping, Handling, and Insurance.

To be deemed capable of satisfying these requirements, offerors must submit a written capability statement that demonstrates it has an eye tracking system capable of meeting the following specifications: • Noninvasive physiological (eye-tracking and pupillometry) monitoring system • have high-speed eye tracking systems • completely non-invasive, and is not head-mounted • Ability to record both remotely (increased patient comfort, ease of movement- +/- 30 mm horizontally or vertically) and with head stabilization (fine grained precision) without compromising data quality. • Contains two distinct eye trackers operating with the same hardware • Includes a full-featured experiment delivery system that can synchronize stimulus delivery and eye-gaze, visualize data with eye position data overlaid on visual stimuli, and format data easily for statistical analysis. The system can send and receive TTL pulses to synchronize with other experimental apparati (e.g. pain stimuli or visual stimuli from other software packages. This will allow the researcher to synchronize data presentation with eye gaze and analyze data as a function of the stimulus being presented. • accuracy is 0.25-0.5 degrees average error • Ability to synchronize stimulus delivery and eye-gaze, visualize data with eye position data overlaid on visual stimuli, and format data easily for statistical analysis. The system can send and receive TTL pulses to synchronize with other experimental apparati (e.g. pain stimuli or visual stimuli from other software packages). • Sampling rates at 2000 Hz monocular and 1000 Hz Binocular. • System should include the necessary hardware, cables, and stimulus delivery systems for each function. If any responsible source believes it can perform the requirements they may submit their capability statements via email (PDF format; 15 Page Limit, these pages exclude resumes) for consideration by NCI to Brenda Oberholzer, Contracting Officer, at oberholzerb@mail.nih.gov by 12 noon, July 2, 2014.
