It is intended to result in the award of a contract for 1 year, plus 1 irrevocable 6 month option allowing Canada to extend the term of the contract. The objective is the design and development of a decision support system through the fusion of biometrics signals for behavioural diagnostic applications.

The system will be based on the automatic processing and the classification of data stemming mainly from Electroencephalogram (EEG), Electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings and tracking of 3D stereoscopic facial characteristics. This processing should provide the integrated system capability, including vital signs, stereoscopic cameras and EEG, to quantify and provide automated diagnosis of the stressors that may affect the operational readiness of Canadian Forces (CF) operators and identify behavioural patterns with the aim of detecting hostile intend. The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The maximum funding available for the Contract resulting from the bid solicitation is $262,000.00 (including GST). Bids valued in excess of this amount will be considered non-responsive.
