ACTIVE DRY ELECTRODE EEG HEADSET SYSTEM W7719-215545/A Ramnarine, Vashti Telephone No.(289) 772-7284
Title: ACTIVE DRY ELECTRODE EEG HEADSET SYSTEM
1. Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community that a department or agency intends to award a contract for goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier, thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the requirements set out in the ACAN, on or before the closing date stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2. Definition of Requirement Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) Toronto Research Centre (DRDC-TRC) requires two EEG headsets. The proposed equipment must use active dry sensors that shield against electromagnetic interference and are resistant to motion artifacts. These features are critical because the EEG headsets will be used on participants who are ambulating in cognitively demanding environments. Importantly, the data quality from active dry electrode EEG headsets must be comparable to conventional wet electrode and wired systems. The EEG headsets and data analysis software must adhere to the specific criteria outlined in this document in order for DRDC to conduct experiments and perform data analysis comparable to studies from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries. This will enable DRDC to compare findings and potentially pool data with NATO allies to perform larger studies.
3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities (Minimum Essential Requirements)
Any interested suppliers must demonstrate by way of a statement of capabilities that meets each of the following requirements under section 3.1. 3.1 Technical Specifications Dry electrode EEG headset: 21-channel
Required quantity: 1
Specifications Value Electrode type Active dry electrodes with: a) shielding against electromagnetic interference b) isolation against motion artifacts Number of electrodes At least 20 electrode sensors positioned according to the International 10-20 System Wireless range At least 10 meter range from measuring device Battery life More than 20 hours Resolution At least 16 bits Sampling rate At least 300 samples per second Common mode rejection ratio More than 110 decibels (dB) Noise Less than 1 microvolt root mean square (µV RMS) Weight Less than 650 grams Adjustable headset Between 52 and 62 centimetre circumference
