REQUEST FOR INFORMATION-Mobile Audiometric Testing Solutions

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is conducting market research to identify commercially available mobile audiometric testing solutions that meet federal occupational hearing conservation requirements. The solutions should be capable of performing self-guided pure tone hearing tests without reliance on WiFi, Bluetooth, or web interfaces, while ensuring data security, accurate testing, and seamless integration into existing compliance and recordkeeping workflows. The FBI is looking for iPad-based, app-driven audiometry systems that can operate on FBI-owned current-generation Apple iPads under enterprise mobile device management (MDM). The systems should be able to function without Wi-Fi or Bluetooth during testing and meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 and ANSI S3.6 audiometer performance standards. Some key features and requirements include: • Platform: Must be a native iPadOS application, operating on FBI-owned current-generation Apple iPads under enterprise mobile device management (MDM) • Audiometric Testing: Must perform self-guided pure tone air conduction threshold audiometry, meeting OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95 and ANSI S3.6 audiometer performance standards • Headphone/Transducer: Must utilize wired, calibrated, audiometric headphones that can plug directly into the iPad • Offline Operation: Must support full test administration without internet access, local test storage, and automatic synchronization once reconnected • Data Storage & Security: Cloud platform must be HIPAA-compliant, FedRAMP preferred, with servers physically located in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest • Reporting & Export: Must include customizable batch export of audiometric test results, export of results in CSV or xlsx format, and availability of individual and batch test reports The FBI is seeking information on potential barriers to obtaining solutions that meet objectives and is looking for industry information, including any industry changes or improvements that the FBI should consider when looking to achieve products and capabilities that meet requirements and are compatible with the commercial environment.
