White, 301-227-1077. The Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (CDNSWC), IAW Far 6.302, intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Division Inc., Chapel Hill, NC, for a ProVision 10 VPX(TM) Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) Hardware Bundle for an HP 735 workstation. CDNSWC has an existing HP 735 CVRX workstation. The ProVision 10 VPX(TM) system developed by Division Inc. is the only system able to provide an immersive VR graphics capability for the existing HP workstation. Division Inc. is the sole developer and manufacturer of the VPX(TM) system. This VR system uses the PIXEL-PLANES(TM) drawing engine which has the capability and speed needed to render virtual worlds which require photo-quality texture mapping and high polygon performance of at least 300,000 Gouraud or Phong shaded, z-buffered fully texture-mapped triangles per second. PIXEL-PLANES(TM) technology has been developed by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has been licensed by Division. Division is the only company to utilize this technology to develop a VR capability for the HP workstations. The solicitation will be issued on or about 1 May 1995 and will close approximately 30 days thereafter. (See Note 22) (0083)
