    This document is a Single Source Justification for acquiring Fatigue Science products, specifically the Fatigue Science 360 and Readi Watches, for military populations. The justification highlights that Fatigue Science utilizes a military-developed biomathematical fatigue model (DoD Sleep Activity, Fatigue, and Task Effectiveness Model) which is crucial for fatigue mitigation and performance optimization in civil and military aviation. The document systematically compares Fatigue Science with alternatives like Oura Ring, WHOOP, FitBit Versa 3, and Polar Vantage 2, emphasizing Fatigue Science's unique features such as multi-user capability, supervisor alerts, predictive analysis, longer battery life, and compatibility with other devices. Efforts to obtain competition, including market research and a Sources Sought notice on SAM.gov, yielded no alternative solutions.
