Attachment 3 - Brand Name JA - Bose ProFlight Headset - Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the 60 Contracting Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, focused on procuring 35 flight headsets from the Bose Corporation for use on the KC-46 aircraft. The headsets must meet specific technical requirements, including dual-plug high-impedance "civil" and single-plug low-impedance "military" jacks, microphone compatibility with high and low impedance systems, FAA TSO approval, and the ability to disable Bluetooth during use.

The 22nd Operations Group conducted extensive flight headset tests and determined the Bose ProFlight Series II was the only headset meeting all KC-46 crew requirements. The justification highlights that this model was the sole headset producing single-plug configuration, providing superior sound quality, and being listed on the Air Mobility Command's authorized headset list. The contracting officer has determined that only a single source is reasonably available, with the procurement date set for 18-August-2025 and continued market research planned to ensure the government's best interests are maintained.
