Attachment 3 - BNJ - CO Signed - Redacted.pdf

This is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) document for a federal contract action by the 99th Contracting Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

The acquisition requires the purchase and delivery of fifty Clear-Com CCC-802065-66-M headsets and two CC-300-X4 headsets for the 556 Test and Evaluation Squadron. The justification for sole-source procurement to Clear-Com is based on compatibility requirements with the installed Audio-Multi Level Security (A-MLS) integrated cockpit intercom system currently in use. Clear-Com is the only manufacturer whose headsets are compatible with this system, and switching to an alternative would compromise mission sustainability. The contract action reference is F3GEBA6181A001, with the estimated cost redacted from the document. The solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov as a 100% small business set-aside with brand name requirement designation. For future headset requirements, the 432 MSG/CONS will evaluate whether alternative brands can meet A-MLS compatibility standards before defaulting to Clear-Com as a brand name requirement. The contracting officer, Captain Taylor M. Peeples, USAF, made the determination on August 2, 2026, that single source procurement is the only reasonably available option in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
