Collecting Eye Tracking and Vehicle Kinematics Data from Alternative Intersection and Interchange Sites

The contract solicitation numbered 693JJ326Q000025 seeks a vendor to collect and analyze driver behavior data using eye-tracking and vehicle kinematics systems at up to three geographic locations featuring alternative intersections and interchanges, over a 24-month period. The work includes recruiting 25 local drivers per region, conducting field data collection at 15 sites, ensuring synchronized, time-stamped data acquisition at 60 Hz or higher, and delivering anonymized datasets in CSV and video formats alongside a Section 508-compliant final report. The contract is anticipated to be awarded under a Firm-Fixed-Price structure for the primary data collection task, supplemented by cost-reimbursable line items for traveler payouts and travel expenses capped at $7,500 and $20,000 respectively, though the total contract value remains incomplete due to the absence of a stated price for the main deliverable. Evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technical Acceptability (LPTA) approach, where quotations must meet all technical criteria—demonstrating a viable technical approach, qualified management, and proven experience with high-frequency data acquisition systems—as a binary pass/fail threshold; only technically acceptable offers will be compared on price, with award going to the lowest bidder. The contractor must comply with a comprehensive set of Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses covering ethics, labor, security, and reporting obligations, including mandatory whistleblower protection, Equal Opportunity requirements, paid sick leave under Executive Order 13706, minimum wage adherence per Executive Order 14026, prohibitions on ByteDance applications and Kaspersky hardware, and supply chain security controls under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. Vendor personnel must be identified as non-federal employees in all interactions, and government property must be secured daily. All data collection must obtain Institutional Review Board approval and adhere to strict privacy and security standards, with inspections conducted on-site at AII locations and final acceptance handled by the technical point of contact. Invoicing is required exclusively through the Delphi eInvoicing portal via login.gov, and submissions must include a Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code, along with certifications on business size, socioeconomic status, and disclosure of any covered telecommunications or equipment used.
