David Clark Headsets single_source_justification_S_Redacted.pdf

This single source justification document proposes procuring David Clark aviation headsets from David Clark Company Inc. on a sole source basis to fulfill Solicitation Number FA441723QC113 issued by the Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command. Key details include that David Clark Company Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer of the H10-13.4 aviation headsets required to outfit special operations aircraft, with no other vendor able to provide equivalent form, fit and function. The justification cites significant costs required to redesign aircraft headsets for a new vendor as well as safety and interoperability risks, recommending a sole source award to David Clark Company Inc. to meet the needs of Solicitation Number FA441723QC113 on an expedited timeline.
