Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy, through NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) sole-source contract to Altec, Inc. for Health Research and Development Services. This requirement supports the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) Warfighter Performance Department (WFP) in enhancing marker-less motion capture technologies for musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) research. This is a Notice of Intent; proposals are not being accepted. The response date for any interested parties to submit capabilities is March 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
The contractor will provide research support services focused on marker-less motion capture technologies.

The software will process commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) high-speed depth-sensing camera data to capture high-fidelity gait and running kinematics, communicate with computers for high-throughput computations, and present real-time biofeedback for interventions. The Kin-A-Track method will undergo comprehensive testing for accuracy and intuitive biofeedback presentation.
