Attachment 1 - Brand Name Justification - Headsets - 06 Feb 25 -.pdf

This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for ClearCom headsets submitted by the 27th Special Operations Contracting Squadron at Cannon AFB, NM. The document justifies the brand-name requirement for ClearCom headsets needed for flying operations, citing that ClearCom is the sole brand compatible with existing communication relay interfaces and VOX style headsets.

The justification indicates that while there are three small businesses and one large business capable of providing the required headsets, they must be ClearCom brand specifically. The contracting activity plans to solicit this as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside on SAM.gov using FAR subpart 13.5 procedures. The authority cited is FAR 13.501(a), and the document is signed by both the requiring activity representative and contracting officer on February 6, 2025. The procurement is being conducted as a new individual justification rather than a class justification or bridge action, with all four potential vendors being registered in SAM and on the authorized reseller list.
