    single_source_justification (Fatigue Science Readi)_Redacted.pdf
    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. Federal Prison Industries (Unicor.gov) and AbilityOne also produced no results for comparable products. Therefore, Sleep Performance Inc. dba Fatigue Science is recommended as the sole source. Both Mission Partner and CONS will continue to assess the marketplace for future competitive opportunities.
