Supply of Portable Eye-Tracking Hardware (EyeLink Portable Duo)

The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking a subcontractor to supply portable, high-precision eye-tracking hardware known as the EyeLink Portable Duo, specifically designed for mobile and field research applications. These systems must deliver accurate, real-time gaze data in dynamic environments, enabling advanced behavioral and cognitive studies in outdoor and non-laboratory settings. The hardware must be rugged, lightweight, and fully operational under varied environmental conditions to support research efforts conducted at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, with a strict response deadline of May 28, 2026, at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334516, which classifies it within the manufacturing of optical instruments and lenses, indicating a focus on specialized instrumentation rather than general consumer electronics. The contract is structured as a subcontract, implying the selected vendor will provide components or systems to a prime contractor or another entity within the DoD supply chain rather than directly to the government. While no set-aside provisions or small business preferences are specified, the equipment must meet exacting technical standards for precision, portability, and reliability to support DoD-sponsored scientific initiatives. The absence of a designated point of contact suggests all inquiries should be directed through the publicly accessible SAM.gov portal, and delivery and performance obligations are tied to the physical location of Stennis Space Center, where the systems will be deployed for research. Failure to meet technical specifications or deadline will disqualify proposals, underscoring the need for proven experience in field-deployable eye-tracking technology.
