SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION LETTER
Passive Attenuation Communications Earphone (PACE) System
The Air Force approved the Passive Attenuation Communications Earphone (PACE) System for aircrew on 1 May 2015 and has provided Technical Order Instructions via supplement to T.O. 14P3- 4-201C to cover all Department of Defense users. Current systems do not have the ability to provide the combination of custom and/or non-custom vented earphones with a 3.5mm connector to aircrew. In addition, the current systems in use have shown issues with ruggedness and comfort. The Pro Flight Gear, LLC (Cage Code 78LH4) PACE System is the only stereo in-ear system that has been built to improve both ruggedness and comfort. It is easily installed/removed/stored and meets/exceeds all requirements for supporting aircrew. PACE has eliminated issues with helmet modifications and specific and expensive test equipment by providing a simple to use device that one can test using any standard audio available source. The system is durable and portable and that makes this in-ear communications system the most complete and mission effective option for our aircrew.
Pro Flight Gear, LLC., a Minority Service Disabled Veteran Owned Emerging Small Business, is the manufacturer, sole distributor, and sole maintainer of the PACE System and Accessories. No other manufacturer or distributor can provide PACE, an in-ear communications system that has Custom and/or Non-Custom vented tips and uses a rugged 3.5mm connector plug that has been certified for flight by the U.S. Department of Defense. No other company is authorized to maintain or support PACE installed helmets. The current National Stock Numbers show Pro Flight Gear as the only manufacturer, maintainer, and distributor of PACE are below.
