Attachment 2 - BNJ - Bose ProFlight Series II Headsets - Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for the procurement of Bose ProFlight Series II flight headsets for the 22nd OG (Operations Group). The document details specific technical requirements for the headsets, including compatibility with dual-plug and single-plug impedance jacks, microphone functionality, ergonomic considerations for air refueling operations, and FAA TSO approval. The headsets must be operable with one or two ears, non-Bluetooth or with Bluetooth off-capability, and designed for KC-46 and KC-135 flight operations.

After extensive testing, the document justifies selecting the Bose ProFlight Series II and Bose A30 headsets as the only models meeting all mission requirements. The 22nd and 931st OG conducted over 20 separate flight headset tests, ultimately determining that with 6-pin, David Clark Pro-M, Pro-S, H-10, and C-17 H-10, Telex 750/7/8/8+ models, only the Bose headsets fully satisfy operational needs. The procurement is for use on KC-46 aircraft, with future market research planned to ensure continued alignment with government interests. The contracting activity is 22 CONS/PKA, with a purchase request number of F2Z1235148A001.
