This system measures whole-body kinematics across a wide range of high-function human physical activity (running, climbing, etc.) and is created and manufactured by Xsens North America, Inc. It is a proprietary system. Xsens North America, Inc. is the only vendor that can provide the complete system that meets the minimum requirements of the Government.

The NAICS code for this requirement is 339112. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes; however, interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement. All information received by 2:00 PM Pacific Time on 7 September 2016 may be considered by the Government. Responses shall be submitted to Margaret Babbitt at margaret.h.babbitt.civ@mail.mil.
