About this file
This is a Brand Name Sole Source Justification memorandum issued by the Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command on 20 August 2026. The document justifies the procurement of the InBody 770 body composition analyzer as a sole source acquisition from InBody, the exclusive supplier of the product.
The justification cites AFMAN 36-2905, Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Program (24 Mar 2026), and a policy clarification issued by Mr. Jason Ham, AF/A1PPP, on 14 May 2026, which mandates use of the InBody 770 specifically for WHtR Body Fat Assessment purposes. The memorandum states that InBody provided corroborating documentation confirming no distributors exist and that InBody is the sole supplier of its products. The InBody 770 is described as delivering medical-grade body composition analysis with specialized body water assessment capabilities, dual result sheets, and comprehensive fluid analysis data. The justification explicitly states that competitors are not authorized due to mandatory use of the InBody 770 per policy clarification, and no market research was conducted due to this mandatory requirement. No competing alternatives are authorized, and the acquiring activity has identified no actions to remove barriers to competition for subsequent acquisitions. The memorandum was prepared by Sheree Ham, Deputy Director of the 82d Force Support Squadron, certified accurate by Contracting Officer Shyvonne M. Yarborough, and approved by Kyle J. Contreras, Section Chief, 82 CONS/PKAA.

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND
20 August 2026
MEMORANDUM FOR 82 CONS/PKAA
FROM: 82 FSS/DD
SUBJECT: Brand Name Sole Source Justification
1. Description of the Supplies/Services: InBody is the sole source supplier of the InBody 770. Inbody provided a corroborating document confirming there are no distributors and they are the sole supplier of Inbody products, which are a requirement of AFMAN 36-2905, Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Program, 24 Mar 2026, as part of the updated Air Force fitness standards. Though the AFMAN lists the Inbody 770 as an example of a body fat analyzer, the directive language is imprecise. However, a policy clarification issued by Mr. Jason Ham, AF/A1PPP, on 14 May 2026 indicated the body fat analyzer must be the InBody 770. This is specified in policy clarification for WHtR Body Fat Assessment, para. 3.1.2.1.2. The InBody 770 delivers medical-grade body composition analysis with specialized body water assessment capabilities and is considered the gold standard. It also features dual result sheets providing comprehensive body composition data plus detailed fluid analysis, making it ideal for advanced health assessments.
2. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Competitors are not authorized due to mandatory use of Inbody 770 per policy clarification and Inbody as the sole source provider of the InBody 770.
3. Market Research: None conducted/obtained due to mandatory use of InBody 770 per policy clarification.
4. Other Factors: No other factors.
5. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before making subsequent acquisitions for the supplies or services required: No actions.
