7A21--GAIT Analysis Machine (Medical Research) Intent to Sole Source
The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Stoelting Co. for a Ugo Basile G.A.I.T. (Gait Analysis and Imaging Tool) system. This integrated gait analysis platform is required for a MERIT-funded traumatic brain injury research project at the William S. Middleton Memorial VA Medical Center in Madison, WI. The system features dual-view high-resolution imaging and AI-driven gait detection essential for post-TBI locomotion analysis in mice, with no equivalent product available from other vendors. Capability statements from interested parties must be submitted by 5:00 PM on May 14, 2026. No budget amount is specified in the notice.
