6515--AWARDED Sole Source - DX 200 Head Mounted 3D Goggle Eye Tracking System.

The contract is a sole-source, firm-fixed-price award valued at $62,650.00 to Spryson America, Inc. for the procurement of the DX200 Head Mounted 3D Goggle Eye Tracking System. This acquisition supports the Iowa City VA Healthcare System Research Department’s neuro-ophthalmic and vestibular research efforts. The system is proprietary, incorporating trademarked software components (I-Portal™ and VEST™) essential for specialized eye tracking and data acquisition, with FDA-cleared diagnostic capabilities. The award was justified under FAR 12.102(a) due to the uniqueness of the technology and lack of alternative sources capable of meeting the research's technical requirements. The contract was awarded after an Intent to Sole Source notice was posted, and the formal sole-source justification confirms no competition was required. The contract encompasses the full system including the head-mounted goggles, integrated binocular cameras, a laptop, isolation transformer, push button motor response box, and one year of SprysonCare+ support. Delivery and acceptance are presumed at the Iowa City VA Healthcare System, with the government responsible for inspection based on conformance to the specified functional and clinical standards. Key administrative details include the contracting office in Coralville, IA, and Joseph Bennett as the Contracting Officer. No detailed FAR clauses, evaluation criteria, special contract options, or packaging requirements are documented, reflecting the simplified nature of this sole-source procurement. Socioeconomic certifications and other administrative representations were required by the solicitation, though specific status details for Spryson America, Inc. are not provided in the available documentation. The contract’s scope is narrowly focused on ensuring continuity and technical compatibility for ongoing VA medical research, leveraging Spryson’s proprietary technology under a non-competitive acquisition process.
