BACKGROUND, SCOPE, AND CAPABILITY REQUIREMENTS:

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought for information and planning purposes. Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk’s intent of this announcement is to identify qualified and experienced sources able to provide a fully functional, military-ready smartphone application for compromised driving detection in support of Naval Safety Command.

Contractor will design, build, and deliver a complete mobile-based compromised driving detection system that can be deployed across motorcycle-riding service members. This includes software development, AI-driven behavior detection algorithms, on-device real-time processing, user feedback features, and backend support infrastructure — all aimed at driving measurable improvements in safety and readiness through a smartphone application for compromised driving (“SACD”).

The goal of this initiative is to study the viability of a new technology for smartphone that will reduce avoidable driver behavioral errors caused by fatigue – thereby saving injuries, lives, trauma, property, costs, and maintaining operational impact – without the cost or problems associated with additional hardware/gear and to deliver a SACD which is ready for deployment and IAW the PWS.

If there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability among small business contractors, a key factor in determining if an acquisition will be a small business set-aside is that two or more potential small business prime contractors must be capable of performing at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. If it is determined that a small business set-aside is appropriate, and your company anticipates submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for a small business set-aside, please provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. If this effort is not set-aside for small business, small business utilization will be considered. Large and small businesses should provide a reasonable expectation for small business utilization as a percent of total contract value as well as supporting rationale for the recommended percentage.
