About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for Request for Quote (RFQ) 1790672, related to a Consumable Parts Replenishment and Inventory Management contract for the Department of the Army National Guard. The Q&A addresses three key questions from potential vendors regarding technical specifications for communication headsets and inventory management expectations.
The primary focus is on procurement of Single Comm 4-Con headsets with specific hardware requirements, including a 4-con wire down-lead compatible with existing Push-To-Talk (PTT) adapters. The vendor responses indicate flexibility in lead times for restocking, with a preference for vendors to restock shortages within 30 days and actively collaborate on identifying and ordering needed items. The contract aims to improve upon current military ordering system limitations, seeking vendors who can efficiently manage inventory and consumable parts for military shop facilities, with an emphasis on mechanical aptitude and comprehensive inventory management skills.

Q & A Document
RFQ1790672
Updated: 12JAN2026
Q1: I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out with a clarifying question regarding RFQ1790672, for which you are listed as a contact. Since the wording of the description mentions “the included Push-To-Talk (PTT) hardware,” we wanted to double check whether you expect the hardware to come with PTTs? To my understanding, the COMTAC VIII does not.
Q2: On your RFQ1790672 request, I assume you already have the PTT Adapters that connect the headset to the PRC-152 radio. You do not include a separate line item for the PTT Adapters. If this was an oversight, the correct adapter is the FL5601-02.
Answer to both Q1 & Q2: To answer both of these questions, we do have push-to-talks already at the unit. That being said the headsets will need to come with the hardware to connect our current PTT with. We need the Single Comm 4-Con headset, that will come with a 4-con wire down-lead that we can connect our current PTT with. So if it does not come with a PTT that is ok, all we need them to have is that down-lead a the boom-microphone which the headset will come with. We do not need to have another line item for the push to talk. Please let me know if that clears this up or if you have any other questions. Thank you!
Q3: In the solicitation, and statement of work, it states you guys aren’t happy with DLA. Their process and ability to produce so to speak. If we win this contract what is the expectation of order to shelf as far as lead time? I saw 30 days on the statement of work, but I wanted clarification. I.E. Do I need to stock high usage consumables at my warehouse if the lead time is going to be greater than 30 days? If the lead time is greater than 30 days is there a penalty on the contractor? Our system will be extremely more efficient than DLA’s. What are the acceptable commercial replacement items?
Answer to Q3: The issue isn’t necessarily with DLA specifically, and more that the military ordering system does not allow for the ordering of specific high-use and consumable products. It is preferred that vendors are able to restock shortages within 30 days, but understood certain items will incur longer lead times, and we can be flexible with those. So long as the shop and vendor are actively working together to identify the need and which items need to be restocked, and those items are being placed on order within 30 days, that is what we’re looking for.
