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.

Background: The procurement is to support regulatory science tools development for the Interventional, Radiological Imaging and Visualization program.

Developing measurement methodologies for technical performance is critical for consistent evaluation of image visualization on head mounted displays.

Specifically, the procurement is for a spectroradiometer to precisely measure and evaluate the spectrum and color performance of image quality of augmented and virtual reality head mounted displays that are increasingly being incorporated in medical devices across the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ).

The quantitative measurements from the spectroradiometer will allow for developing image quality regulatory science tools for a wider range image quality parameters across the full range of device types, opposed to only measuring luminance values.

The specialized lens assembly on the spectroradiometer mimics the human visual system, which is critical for determining the image quality seen by the user.

This will align the Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL) instrumentation with FDA recognized standards, such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), for head mounted displays, which is essential for the OSEL mission of developing regulatory science tools.

Minimum Performance Requirements: Item 1: Spectroradiometer Optical Specifications: • Wavelength range: at least 380-780 nm • Sensor size: at least 512 elements • Detector type for spectroradi...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
