About this file
This document is a Questions & Answers file for federal contract solicitation FA527026QA044 regarding COMTAC VI Headsets and ARIES Dual Comm PTT Assembly procured through 18 CONS.
The Q&A addresses three key clarifications from potential vendors. First, the government confirms there is no previous award history or releasable Independent Government Cost Estimate available for these items. Second, the government requires vendors to provide an Atlantic Signal Part # 21GC.A.001.5C-8 adapter cable (21GC Series Headset 5C Adapter Cable with 8" lead) to ensure compatibility between the COMTAC VI-92 headsets with 5C connectors and the ARIES PTT, which uses a different connector type. Third, the government specifies that radio cable line items must be separated from the ARIES part number and identifies the specific radios as the Motorola APX 6000 and PRC-163 [RT1916N(P)(C)/U (P/N: 12041-3000-02)], with 6-pin radio cables also required as separate line items. These clarifications establish the specific technical requirements and component compatibility necessary for vendor quotes on this equipment assembly.

COMTAC VI HEADSETS & ARIES DUAL COMM PTT ASSEMBLY
FA527026QA044
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
1. Question: “As I prepare a quote, I wanted to ask whether any pricing history or prior award information is available for these items — either from a previous solicitation for the same or similar requirement, or an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), if releasable.”
Answer: There is currently no previous award information for these items procured through 18 CONS.
2. Question: “This item that we included in the original solicitation is required for this equipment to work since 5C connectors are called for on the headsets:
Atlantic Signal, Part # 21GC.A.001.5C-8 (21GC Series: Headset (5C) Adapter Cable - 8" Lead) the ARIES PTT has a different connector and as referenced in the RFQ, it will not work, so either the downlead on the headset needs to be changed to the GC downlead or the transition cable above needs to be included.”
Answer: Please provide the adapter.
3. Question: “The Comtac VI -92 headset will need an adapter into the Aries, and this is also missing the part numbers for the radio cables. It’s lumped into the Aries part number but will need to be a separate line item. What radio model number(s) do you need this for? Are you needing the 6 pin radio cables added in as well?
Answer: The radios being used are the Motorola APX 6000 and the PRC-163 [RT- 1916N(P)(C)/U (P/N: 12041-3000-02)]. The 6 pin radio cables will also be required.
