66 -- PEDAR MEASURING SYSTEM SOL 263-95-P(GD)-0022 POC Donald Wilson, Contract Specialist, 301-402-2849. The National Institutes of Health intends to negotiate with Novel Electronics Inc., as a sole source under the authority of 41.U.S.C. 253(c)(1), for a Pedar System P100, 5PR, with software option 814D, EMED-MULTIMASK, and P101, EMED/PEDAR software link. National Center for Research Resources, requires a PEDAR MEASURING SYSTEM to enable the study and measurement of insole pressure distribution. The system shall be based on ''captive sensor technology''. The calibration procedure shall be accomplished with an air bladder calibration device delivered with the system. The complete Pedar System shall consist of the following: 1) Pedar electronics and cables (shall scan 9900 sensors per second; measurement frequency shall be 50 Hz with 198 sensors). 2) Pedar measuring insoles - shall include five (5) pair in different sizes. Vertical ground reaction forces shall cover the entire plantar surface of both feet, with a measurement range of from 1 to 60 N/cm2 (99 sensors per measuring insole). 3) Pedar calibration devide shall be delivered with the manometer. This is not a formal solicitation. However, concerns that respond to this notice must furnish concise responses directed specifically to the requirements mentioned above. Sources demonstrating the capability to accomplish the above shall supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate their ability to perform. Information furnished should include enough material to perform a proper evaluation. Respondents will not be notified of the evaluation results. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0038)
