Opportunity description
Notice of Combined Synopsis/Solicitation. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. The NAICS for this requirement is: 334519. The government is not obligated to make an award. The Government is not obligated to pay costs incurred by the Contractor during quote preparation and quote submission. Background: In collaboration with the Human-Device Interaction lab within the Office of Science and Engineering Labs (OSEL), the Division of Biomedical Physics (DBP) seeks to order a portable force plate system for gait and balance assessment. The Human-Device Interaction lab within OSEL addresses regulatory science research questions related to diagnostic, therapeutic, and assistive medical devices. Understanding human interaction with these medical devices requires biomechanics equipment that quantifies human movement. Force plate analysis is a common method by which human gait and balance can be accurately quantified. For this acquisition, a portable force plate system is needed to collect more robust, high-quality signals of human gait and balance. The system will allow for accurate quantification of subject movement. The services requested below are for the operations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). Minimum Performance Requirements/ Salient Characteristics: The portable force plate system ordered must have the following salient characteristics: o A minimum of two (2) force plates capable of exporting data from at least six (6) measurement channels including force in the X, Y, and Z axes and moment in the X, Y, and Z axes. The following horizontal and vertical force and moment capacities must be met: o Force X, Y capacity must be greater than 430 Newtons. o Force Z capacity must be greater than 1300 Newtons. o Moment X, Y capacity must be greater than 225 Newton-meters. o Moment Z capacity must be greater than 80 Newton-meters. o Uses a plug & play Universal Serial Bus (USB) (2.0 or greater) interface capable of connecting and synchronizing up to 12 force plates. All cables and accessories required for synchronization should be included. O Generates digital output of at least six measurement channels (described above) that uses a single USB cable to connect with an acquisition computer running Windows 10 and is easily integrated in Vicon Nexus 2.X software. o Compatible with Vicon Nexus software versions 2.6 through 2.19 (or latest available version) o Includes necessary drivers, plugins, or SDK components for integration o Real-time data streaming capability to Vicon Nexus environment o Includes at least 15-foot USB cable for power and data transfer o Force plates allow for user selectable digital data rates between 10-1000 datasets per second. o Force plates do not require an external amplifier. Amplifier must be bult into the force plate. o Force plate dimensions are no greater than 51 x 51 x 4.6 centimeters with a 300-pound (or greater) vertical force capacity. o Force plate is portable such that it does not require any mounting and weighs less than 12 kilograms. o Hardware solutions are provided to recess the force plates into raised flooring such that data accuracy and integrity are not compromised. O The Contractor shall provide a minimum one (1) year hardware warranty from date of Government acceptance. The Contractor shall guarantee full device replacement at no additional cost to the Government for any manufacturing defects or operational failures during normal use as defined in the user manual. Warranty coverage shall include all associated shipping costs for replacement units. Place of Performance: Hardware associated with the portable force plate system to be delivered no later than 60 days after award. SHIP TO: Attn: Kimberly Kontson 10903 New Hampshire Ave Building 62-1105 Silver Spring, MD 21140 Point of contact: Kimberly Kontson Kimberly.Kontson@fda.hhs.gov Office phone: (301) 798-4990 Period of Performance: 12 consecutive months commencing upon date of award. Quotes are due by email on or before September 21, 2026, by 4:00 P.M. and should be sent to brandon.rafus@fda.hhs.gov

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored deadline is within three days. Check earlier question, site-visit and attachment requirements immediately; the final response date may not be the first deadline that matters.
No Set aside used is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.
NAICS 334519 · PSC 6640 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 1 public contracting contact. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

What this opportunity record tells you
SAM.gov identifies this as a combined synopsis/solicitation from HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF. The record was posted on September 17, 2026 and currently lists September 21, 2026 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.
The listed product or service classification is NAICS 334519 · PSC 6640. The set-aside field is No Set aside used. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.
Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
