AI Contract Overview

Show more

The United States Air Force Academy intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Ouraring Inc. for 50 wearable smart rings designed to monitor biometric data among cadets, including blood oxygen levels, heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, movement, respiratory rate, and sleep quality and quantity. The rings must accommodate sizes 6 through 15, feature a rechargeable battery with a minimum five-day life, and ensure at least 75% agreement with polysomnography lab results. A proprietary enterprise software solution is required to aggregate data from all devices into a centralized system, with no individual user association to enable seamless device transfer between users. Importantly, the software must be devoid of any artificial intelligence capabilities to comply with Air Force cybersecurity mandates. Market research confirmed that Ouraring Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing a specially configured version of its product—the Oura Research Application—that disables AI functions while meeting all technical and size requirements, including the production of larger ring sizes 14 and 15, and no other supplier can fulfill the requirement without introducing supply chain risks. This sole-source determination is made under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial products. Responses in the form of capability statements must be submitted to Amy Krause and Nicole Cibula by 11:00 AM MDT on May 18, 2026. This notice is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to issue a contract or conduct a competitive procurement. The government reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with a sole-source award or open the requirement to competition based on any information received. The contract will be classified under NAICS Code 339920 and performed at the USAFA in Colorado. Although no formal solicitation will be issued, any responsible entity that believes it can meet the requirements is encouraged to submit a statement of capability for consideration.

Full Description

Show more

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) intends to award a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Ouraring Inc. under the simplified procedures for commercial products in accordance with RFO Part 12. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 339920.


Requirement:
The USAFA Dean of Faculty Department of Biology (DFBI) requires 50 wearable smart ring performance monitoring devices for use by Cadets to measure biometric data and provide insights into human performance and quality and quantity of sleep.
The devices must meet the following salient characteristics:


  • Accommodate ring sizes 6 through 15.
  • Measure blood oxygen levels, heart rate and heart rate variability, body temperature variations, movement and activity, respiratory rates, and quantity and quality of sleep.
  • Data collected from this technology must provide a minimum of 75% agreement with a polysomnography sleep lab test.
  • Feature a rechargeable battery that lasts a minimum of 5 days.
  • Include an enterprise software solution that collects and analyzes data from all devices into a single instance for fleet research.
  • Devices must connect to this enterprise software application and not to the individual user, allowing easy transfer of a device and inherent software from person to person.
  • The associated software shall not have any AI features or capabilities.

Justification:
In accordance with RFO 12.102(a), the Government has determined that only one source is reasonably available. Market research confirmed that standard commercial smart rings fundamentally utilize AI/algorithmic processing; however, Ouraring Inc. is the only manufacturer capable of providing a specialized configuration (the "Oura Research Application") that provides a blinded user experience and natively disables the prohibited AI features to comply with Air Force cybersecurity mandates. Furthermore, Ouraring Inc. is the only known source capable of producing the mandatory ring sizes 14 and 15, and meeting the strict 75% polysomnography agreement standard. Finally, market research identified no authorized third-party enterprise resellers capable of fulfilling this requirement without introducing unacceptable supply chain risk.


Disclaimer:
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations, and a formal solicitation will not be issued. However, any responsible source that believes it can meet these requirements may submit a capability statement. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete this action is solely within the discretion of the Government.


Responses: Submit capability statements to Nicole Cibula at contact@example.gov and Amy Krause at contact@example.gov by 11:00 AM (MDT) on18 May 2026.

USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Solicitation # FA7000-25-S-C001
The USAFA Rapid Acquisition Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) FA7000-25-S-C001 is an umbrella solicitation designed to acquire innovative commercial technologies and services to support the United States Air Force Academy's mission in leadership, academics, fitness, and professionalism. Operating as a CSO with Calls, this vehicle does not request proposals upon initial issuance but instead establishes a framework for future requirements. The government issues specific Calls for proposals as amendments to the CSO, with awards typically taking the form of FAR Part 12 commercial contracts or Other Transactions (OT). Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, importance to agency programs, and funds availability, with the government seeking the best overall value. To date, the CSO has issued six distinct Calls focusing on diverse operational needs. These include strategic admissions outreach (Call 001), military exoskeleton technology to enhance warfighter lethality (Call 002), autonomous virtual perimeter monitoring for situational awareness (Call 003), and warfighter training support services for a 47-month cadet continuum (Call 004). More recent efforts include the implementation of AI-powered automated high school and college transcript processing (Call 005) and a comprehensive brand analysis to develop a Strategic Brand Roadmap (Call 006). Due to the handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), certain requirements, particularly for AI and IT solutions, restrict participation to U.S. Persons, including U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
