Solicitation - Biometric Suite for Improved Virtual Reality Studies

NIST is soliciting quotes for a biometric suite to support Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) virtual reality studies. This 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 334310 includes an embedded sensor suite for VR headsets, wearable physiological sensors, and analytical software. The embedded sensors must measure EEG, EOG, and HRV, while the wearables track heart rate, GSR, and sEMG. All equipment must be new. Delivery is required within 30 days of the order at the NIST facility in Boulder, Colorado. Quotes are due by June 29, 2026. The scope involves high-fidelity biometric data collection using EEG, EOG, HRV, GSR, and sEMG sensors. The contract covers hardware delivery, software for data analysis, and remote training for NIST staff. All items must be new. Hardware and software must be delivered to the NIST Boulder facility within 30 days of the order. Only new equipment is accepted. The contractor will provide two to four hours of remote training for five users following delivery.
