CONTRACTING WITHOUT PROVIDING FOR FULL OR OPEN COMPETITION (INCLUDING BRAND-NAME) DETERMINATION
The determination by the Government to award a contract without providing for full and open competition is based upon the market research conducted. Specifically, only Electrical Geodesics, Inc. (EGI) is capable of meeting the needs of this requirement due to the capability of the HydroCel geodesic sensor net unique to EGI. The Geodesic EEG package from EGI is the only system available that supports high Impedance EEG recording using a unique HydroCel Geodesic Sensor Net. The HydroCel Geodesic Sensor Net allows for greater speed of the application of the nets to subjects. The 128 channel recording nets can be routinely applied in less than 15 minutes and used for recording session of 2-3 hours without need for individual sensor application. The design of this net allows for complete head coverage which ensures that all relevant data is captured. The Geodesic Sensor Net uses abrasion-free application methods and the electrodes themselves are held in place by gentle radial compression afforded by the unique geodesic tension structure. The risk of infection is reduced because the scalp is not compromised due to abrasion.
