Digital Rhythm Games Services

The government authority in Michigan seeks a USA-based organization to provide offsite digital rhythm games services for a five-year contract period. The buyer requires specialized game development, speech technology, software development, and research support services to create a functional, research-use digital game for iPads. The selected vendor must collaborate with the buyer's research team to develop and test this game, which targets children ages 8–12 who stutter. The game must feature speech and nonspeech rhythm activities, progressive difficulty levels, performance-based adjustments, and research data collection capabilities to support a study evaluating beat-based timing and speech fluency. Eligibility remains restricted to onshore USA organizations, and the work requires offsite performance. The buyer requests proposals for the budget rather than stating a fixed amount. Vendors must submit all questions no later than September 28, 2026. The buyer provides no explicit evaluation criteria in the source text.
