About this file
This is an RFI Tracker documenting questions and answers for solicitation W50S8A26QA017, a Request for Quote issued by the New Hampshire Army National Guard for Tactical Headsets for Harris Radios. The RFI period ran from July 1-21, 2026, with answers posted on July 17-22, 2026, and the solicitation closing date is July 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The requirement consists of two Contract Line Items (CLINs): CLIN 0001 for 39 electronic tactical headsets in Coyote brown color and CLIN 0002 for 39 tactical push-to-talk (PTT) radio adapters. The Government specified the ComTac VIII headset model with active hearing protection, fixed single lead U-174 NATO wired connection, ops-core/FAST/ARC helmet mounts, noise-canceling telescopic boom microphone, MAP 5 ambient hearing presets, NRR of 22dB, waterproof capability, and compatibility with Harris XL-200 radios. The PTT adapter must utilize a standardized Nexus TP-120 connector, maintain a wired connection only (no wireless configurations), not require radio programming, and not disable the emergency button functionality.
Key RFI responses clarified critical technical specifications: all connections must be wired only with no wireless SCU-300 configurations, the headset requires a fixed single lead with U-174 NATO connection paired with a Nexus TP-120 PTT adapter for Harris XL-200 radios, any qualified PTT meeting the listed requirements and compatibility standards is acceptable (no specific manufacturer mandated), and the Government declined in-person product demonstrations at this time. The procurement is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and awards will be made on a Firm-Fixed Price basis with FOB Destination to Newington, New Hampshire.

TACTICAL HEADSETS FOR HARRIS RADIOS
| Question # | QUESTION | Date Received | Date Posted | ANSWER | ADDENDUM ISSUED/REQUIRED | |
| 1 | What is the quantity for each CLIN listed? | 7/1/26 | 7/1/26 | CLIN 1 = 39 each | ||
| CLIN 2 = 39 each | 1 | |||||
| 2 | Are you specifying the Comtac VI or the Comtac VIII? | 7/1/26 | 7/17/20226 | Comtac VIII | 2 | |
| 3 | If you want the Comtac VI, what color: Black, OD Green or Coyote? | 7/2/26 | 7/17/20227 | N/A | 2 | |
| 4 | If you want the Comtac VIII, what color: Charcoal Grey, OD Green or Coyote? | 7/2/26 | 7/17/20228 | Coyote | 2 | |
| 5 | We are curious if the end user would be open to a hands on / in person demonstration of our offering. We are able to provide this at short notice if interested. | 7/9/26 | 7/17/20229 | Not Interested at this time | 2 | |
| 6 | I need to confirm one point regarding compatibility between the two line items before submitting our quote. The ComTac VIII platform is offered by the manufacturer in both a wireless configuration (utilizing the SCU-300 System Control Unit) and configurations that terminate in a standard wired NATO U-174 downlead. The original salient characteristics for CLIN 0001 describe a headset with a "fixed single lead for U174 NATO" connection, and CLIN 0002 specifies a separate tactical PTT/radio adapter utilizing a Nexus TP-120 connector for use with Harris XL-200 radios. |
| Could you please confirm whether the Government's requirement is for the wired ComTac VIII configuration (paired with the CLIN 0002 PTT adapter as originally specified), rather than the wireless SCU-300 system? Confirming this will ensure we quote the correct configuration and avoid any compatibility issues between the two CLINs. | 7/21/26 | We do Not want wirless connections all connections all connections must be wired. PTT utilizes the standardized NEXUS TP-120 Connector. We are seeking a fixed single lead connection using a PTT to connect to Harris XL-200 radios that does NOT disable the emergency. | 3 | |
| 7 | The headset requirements mention a U-174 connector, while the PTT requirements mention a Nexus TP-120 connector. Before I request quotes from manufacturers, I want to make sure I'm quoting the correct equipment. | |||
| Will the Government accept any PTT that works with the ComTac VIII and Harris XL-200 radio and meets all of the listed requirements, or is there a specific PTT model or manufacturer you would like vendors to quote? | 7/21/26 | PTT connection must not require radio programming. We do NOT want wireless connections all connections must be wired. PTTutilizes the standardized NEXUS TP-120 connector. We are seeking a fixed single lead connection using a PTT to connect to Harris XL-200 radios that does NOT disable the emergency button.
