Would a cell phone application to detect driver impairment fit under the 26-OS1 topic?
We are developing a mobile application designed to help assess potential driver impairment (drunk, fatigued, etc.) through a verbal assessment test. The app allows users to securely sign in and answer a series of questions intended to gauge cognitive and verbal indicators of impairment. Based on the user’s responses, the application provides feedback indicating whether the results suggest possible impairment or not.

The Government cannot provide specific guidance on proposal strategy. It will be the offeror's responsibility to propose the solution that best meets requirements within the forthcoming solicitation.

This clarification may be useful more broadly for 26-OS1 because driver readiness, impairment-related indicators, fatigue signals, credentialing status, and other pre-trip operator safety signals could potentially serve as proactive safety inputs. It would be helpful to understand whether the topic includes operator-readiness data as a voluntary industry data source when privacy, consent, auditability, and appropriate safeguards are addressed.
