This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a WHOOP 5.0 Subscription for 1st Fighter Wing, prepared by 633 CONS/PKA. The acquisition is for wearable devices with specific requirements: minimum 10-day battery life, OPSEC compliance, rugged and water-resistant design, capable of 24/7 data collection including heart rate, sleep quality, recovery, and stress levels. The device must be wearable on the wrist and compatible with flight gear.

WHOOP is being sole-sourced as the exclusive provider due to its unique Bluetooth Low Energy technology and proprietary security features. A Request for Information (RFI) was conducted to identify market alternatives, with Garmin expressing interest but unable to meet all specific operational requirements. The 1st Fighter Wing plans to continuously research alternative solutions through the Air Force Research Laboratory to potentially foster competition in future procurements. The contracting officer determined on 12-Aug-2025 that a single source is reasonably available, with the estimated contract cost redacted in the document.
