PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Fitness Monitoring Services and Wearable Devices

1. Introduction/Background: This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for fitness monitoring services and wearable devices for 240 4-25 IBCT (ABN) Soldiers. Services will collect and wearable devices will display data related to physiological/biometric performance for each of the 240 soldiers in a usable manner. Soldiers are prone to stresses, pressures and fatigue like other humans but there are environmental elements that differ. Enabling human’s access to physiological/biometric data has been proven to predict illness (including COVID-19), reduce fatigue and injuries and help fine tune heart health.

The Arctic environment offers new layers of challenges into the lives of soldiers. Add this isolation to winters that reach -40° (and below), hazardous conditions, and darkness that is present 18 hours of the day, it is easy to see why wellness, both mental and physical, is important to the United States Army.

The purpose of these services will help 4-25 IBCT (ABN) better understand how exposure to useable physiological/biometric data can be used to improve mental and physical capacity, therefore, increasing performance outcomes in an arctic environment.

2. Period/Place of Performance: 01 Feb 2021 – 31 July 2021

Services are required for six (6) months starting after the delivery and activation of 240 wearable fitness devices. The six (6) month period of performance (POP) for services may start before 01 Feb 2021, pending the offeror’s ability to expedite delivery of wearable devices to 4-25 IBCT.

Acceptance point for this requirement is 4-25 IBCT, JBER (FOB destination). Address to be provided at time of award.

3. Post Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings: The Contractor shall virtually attend one (1) post award conference and two (2) progress meetings per month to discuss progress, pitfall(s) and general contract administration.

4. Salient Characteristics of Fitness Monitoring Services and Wearable Devices:

• 240 wearable devices that provide various biometric measurements that will be able to be displayed for each data point over time, in different environments, and for different groupings such as squads, platoons, and/or companies.

• Battery life able to last up to 5 days.

• Band material made from high strength pliable material.

• Devices without visual display to prevent distraction to user and minimize potential damage

• No GPS monitor within wearable device.

• Six months of support including progress meetings and device and interface help

• Tactful graphical user interface at the individual and “squad” level [approximately 8 devices)] detailed graphs, charts, and comparative analytics.

The analytics must be able to be aggregated from the individual level to multiple levels of groups, including up to all 240 devices.

• Data shall be able to be exported to PDF files (and/or other various types of electronic files) with a focus on security.

• Training shall be provided at the individual, squad and overarching level for reading, interpreting and making the most of the data. Regarding possible COVID-19 infection (or any infectious disease), the training shall include recognition of possible illness from downward physiological trends shall be provided.

• Wearable devices shall become Government property at time of delivery of devise and shall remain Government property at the end of six (6) month Fitness Monitoring Services or if contract is terminated for any reason.
