About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command, through the 4th Consolidated Squadron Contracting office, is seeking to procure brand-name Bose ProFlight Series 2 aviation headsets with Bluetooth capability along with associated 6-pin LEMO adapters for fixed-wing and helicopter applications. The requirement includes 31 Bose ProFlight 2 headsets (PN: 789812-5020), 61 fixed-wing dual plug adapters (PN: 327080-0010), and 31 helicopter adapters (PN: 327080-0020), all as firm fixed-price commercial products. The procurement is based on a comprehensive single-source justification documenting that the Bose ProFlight Series 2 is the only headset meeting eight critical technical specifications, including noise cancellation performance of at least 105 decibels, compatibility with both high and low impedance microphone systems, weight not exceeding 4.5 ounces, 6-pin U-174 connector capability, and FAA TSO and E/TSPC139A certification. The Air Force conducted extensive testing of over 20 flight headset models from competing manufacturers including David Clark and Telex before determining that only Bose met all requirements. The deadline for submission of offers is April 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM local time, with Amendment 0001 issued on April 27, 2026, incorporating DFARS clause 252.211-7003 regarding item unique identification requirements.
This is a 100 percent small business set-aside, meaning only small business entities may compete for the contract, with no incumbent contractor or prior awardee mentioned in the solicitation materials. The estimated contract value is $31,800.90 based on the Air Force's internal cost assessment. Delivery is required within 30 calendar days from the date of award receipt, with the goods destined for the 916 Air Refueling Wing at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, where inspection and acceptance will occur. Payment will be made via electronic funds transfer through the Wide Area WorkFlow system in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7006. The contracting officer is Ty Moorestald (919-722-1728), and Michele Page (919-330-6952) serves as the acceptance point of contact for successful offers.
