Portable Force Plate System-Brand Name and Equal (BNE)

Notice of Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. The NAICS for this requirement is: 334519. The government is not obligated to make an award. The Government is not obligated to pay costs incurred by the Contractor during quote preparation and quote submission. Background: In collaboration with the Human-Device Interaction lab within the Office of Science and Engineering Labs (OSEL), the Division of Biomedical Physics (DBP) seeks to order a portable force plate system for gait and balance assessment. The Human-Device Interaction lab within OSEL addresses regulatory science research questions related to diagnostic, therapeutic, and assistive medical devices. Understanding human interaction with these medical devices requires biomechanics equipment that quantifies human movement. Force plate analysis is a common method by which human gait and balance can be accurately quantified. For this acquisition, a portable force plate system is needed to collect more robust, high-quality signals of human gait and balance. The system will allow for accurate quantification of subject movement. The services requested below are for the operations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). Minimum Performance Requirements/ Salient Characteristics: The portable force plate system ordered must have the following salient characteristics: o A minimum of two (2) force plates capable of exporting data from at least six (6) measurement channels including force in the X, Y, and Z axes and moment in the X, Y, and Z axes. The following horizontal and vertical force and moment capacities must be met: o Force X, Y capacity must be greater than 430 Newtons. o Force Z capacity must be greater than 1300 Newtons. o Moment X, Y...
