AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Government is seeking input from potential vendors regarding a proposed sole source award to iMotions, Inc. for the iMotions Voice Analysis Module (audEERING), which is intended to integrate with the existing iMotions research platform used by the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership to enable automated analysis of vocal expression and speech patterns linked to psychological and emotional states. The procurement is justified under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, citing that no other supplier can meet the specific technical requirements, but the government is soliciting feedback to evaluate whether competition is being unnecessarily restricted and to encourage alternative vendors to demonstrate capability. Responses must address whether the requirement can be structured to allow competition, particularly among small businesses, and must include details on business size, certifications, past performance, commercial availability, pricing, and recommendations to improve the procurement approach. All submissions are due by July 29, 2026, and must be sent via email to the designated point of contact with the official Sources Sought Notice ID included in the subject line. This notice does not trigger a formal solicitation, nor does it obligate the government to award a contract; no quotes, bids, or proposals will be accepted at this stage, and respondents are not to incur costs in anticipation of a future award. The NAICS code for the requirement is 541720, with a size standard of $28 million in annual revenue, and responses are especially encouraged from small businesses including 8(a), SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, and SDB concerns. The government will use all received information to determine whether to proceed with a sole source award or initiate a competitive process, and any future RFQ or RFP will be posted publicly on the Governmentwide Point of Entry.
