BATTLE Lab Varjo Headsets

The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando is pursuing a sole source procurement under FAR 13.101(b) to acquire specialized virtual reality hardware from RAVE Computer Association, Inc., a woman-owned small business, for use in the BATTLE Lab’s research and development initiatives. This effort centers on the procurement and custom modification of secure, off-the-shelf components including the Varjo XR-4 Secure Focal Edition Non-RF Headset, an XR Station with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, 96GB DDR5 memory, and GeForce RTX 5090 graphics, Varjo Controllers, and an Ultraleap Hand Tracking Kit with enterprise-grade software. All equipment must be TAA-compliant, operate offline without transmitting usage data, and be pre-assembled to meet stringent security requirements for deployment in restricted environments. The procurement is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 with NAICS code 334111, ensuring alignment with socioeconomic goals for small businesses. Though the solicitation number is N6134026Q1013 and the posting date is May 21, 2026, with a response deadline of June 5, 2026, this action is a presolicitation notice, not a competitive request for proposals. Interested parties may submit technical documentation of alternative solutions in a maximum of ten pages via email to Alyssa Comellas, but no contract will be awarded based on these submissions unless a superior, comparable, and cost-effective alternative is identified. The place of performance is Orlando, Florida, and all submitted materials must be provided at no cost or obligation to the government.
