Intent to Sole Source - VALD Health system

The US Air Force intends to sole-source the procurement of a VALD Health Performance System to enhance its Human Performance Optimization program. The system will provide standardized equipment for quantitative data collection, enabling the development of data-driven strength and conditioning programs. The VALD Health system is a comprehensive ecosystem that includes ForceDecks, DynaMo Max, and ForceFrame Max, which will be used to measure various components of human performance. The sole-source procurement is justified due to the need for an integrated and standardized data collection system, and the fact that VALD Health is the only vendor capable of providing the total package system necessary to meet the mission requirements. • The system will be used to develop data-driven strength and conditioning programs. • The system will provide a criterion-based scale for accurate Return to Duty decision-making following injury or surgical rehabilitation. • The system will enable the collection of quantitative data for human performance assessment. • The system will provide a centralized data platform for a holistic view of an operator's physical readiness. • The system will eliminate data silos and prevent the need for manual collation of information from disparate software platforms.
