Description

The Providence VA Medical Center Research Department intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Kinova USA, pursuant to FAR 6.302-1; for the purchase of the Kinova JACO Research Edition Robotic Arm with accessories. The JACO Research Edition Arm will be used for brain-computer interface research at the Center for Neurorestoration and Neurotechnology. The purpose of the arm is to help understand how networks of neurons can flexibly link different types of information to commands used for voluntary reaching and grasping movements. This information can be applied to control of advanced prosthetics and robotic arms for Veterans with paralysis or limb loss. The research group currently has a Kinova JACO Arm, and it is imperative the second arm be identical to the arm presently in use. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, any responsible source who believes it is capable of meeting the requirement may submit a capability statement to the contracting office no later than October 15, 2014, at 3:00PM, EST. Interest, capability statements may be sent to Travis Gibbons at travis.gibbons@va.gov. No telephone responses will be accepted. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
