NCCAM believes that the EyeLink 1000 Plus system is the only one that can fulfill its needs because it is the only equipment found that can be used both remotely and via desktop mounted head stabilization while still meeting the speed and accuracy requirements. The supplies herein are being procured in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures as authorized by FAR Part 13.106-1 (b)(1). The North American Industry Classification System Code is 423450 and the business size standard in 100 employees. Only one award will be made as a result of this notice. This will be awarded as a firm fixed price type contract. It has been determined that there is no opportunity to acquire green products or services under this procurement. Background NCCAM's clinical program needs 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. Contractor Requirements: The contractor will provide NCCAM with 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.

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. This is not a solicitation for competitive quotations. However, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, they may submit a statement of capabilities. All information furnished must be in writing and must contain sufficient detail to allow the NCI to determine if it can meet the above unique specifications described herein.
