Sole Source Purchase of MotionMonitor Markerless Upgrade

The Mississippi State University is seeking to purchase a MotionMonitor Markerless Upgrade as a sole source purchase. The upgrade includes a data acquisition computer, eight Basler HS cameras, and software for markerless motion capture. The system will integrate with the university's existing motion capture system, force plates, and EMG system. The purchase is justified due to MotionMonitor's exclusive rights to produce and sell the MotionMonitor markerless upgrade package. The key features of the upgrade include faster processing time, easier data collection, and the ability to work with athletes and participants with special needs. The university has conducted a thorough evaluation of available systems and determined that MotionMonitor can meet the department's stringent scientific, operational, and instructional requirements. Some of the key benefits of the system include: • Faster processing time of data collected in the laboratory • Easier data collection process without the need for markers • Ability to work with athletes and participants with special needs • Integration with the existing motion capture system, force plates, and EMG system • Long-term cost savings due to system durability and shared parts with the current units
