DET 23 Brelyon Monitors

NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT-- THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE Project Title: DET 23 Brelyon Monitors The Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC) – 338th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (ESS), JBSA-Randolph, Texas 78150, intends to award a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis to Brelyon Inc. (Cage Code: 8GUK2), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).

North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees is determined to be the most appropriate for this acquisition. This will be a one-time buy. The anticipated sole source award to Brelyon Inc. (Cage Code: 8GUK2) will provide two Brelyon Ultra Reality displays for testing and research. The Ultra Reality is a 3D display intended for immersive simulators and virtual training tools.

There are documented issues with some Tech Training student experiencing VR sickness when using VR headsets. These monitors allow students to see 3D training content via a stationary monitor that doesn't block a student's peripheral vision which may reduce VR sickness. We are going to test the displays in conjunction with 362 TRS and 372 TRS to determine if these displays adequately reduce rates of VR sickness.
