DMO headset

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 20 units of DMO headsets under NSN 1H-5965-016233674-D7, TDP Version 005, for delivery to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard L1SS in Kittery, Maine. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under FAR 6.302-1 authority, though all responsible sources may express interest and capability to respond to the requirement. The government will consider all proposals, quotations, or capability statements received within 45 days of the notice publication date (30 days if award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement). The notice serves as an opportunity for potential contractors to demonstrate their capabilities, though it is not a formal request for competitive proposals. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.

This procurement is designated as a 100% total small business set-aside under FAR clause 52.219-6, with the specific type of set-aside to be determined in the formal solicitation through various applicable clauses including HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business, or Historically Black College and University set-asides. The contract opportunity was originally posted on July 20, 2021, with a due date of July 11, 2025, providing an extended timeline for interested parties to respond. The procurement falls under PSC category 5965 for headsets, handsets, microphones and speakers, indicating this is a specialized communications equipment acquisition. The quantity requirement is limited to 20 units, suggesting this may be for specific operational needs rather than a large-scale procurement. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the notice.
