The Department of the Army National Guard Readiness Center has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for T-Tap Adaptors (Terma 3D Audio System Adaptors) to Pro Flight Gear LLC, located in Marana, Arizona. This special notice, posted on March 20, 2026, announces the government's intent to procure these specialized adapters without conducting full and open competition. Pro Flight Gear LLC has been identified as the sole vendor capable of supplying the T-Tap Adaptor Model 1003T, which is the only product compatible with existing 3D Audio Headsets and has been successfully tested by the ANG/AFRC Test Center at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona. The contracting authority for this sole source determination is derived from FAR 13.101(b), which permits single-source solicitation under simplified acquisition procedures when only one source is reasonably available.
The Air National Guard requires 518 T-Tap Adaptors to be distributed across 14 geographically dispersed ANG units nationwide to support multi-platform communication for 3D Audio Helmets while maintaining passive hearing protection capabilities. Interested parties may submit responses indicating their interest by 10:00 AM EST on April 10, 2026, via email to reid.blosser.1@us.af.mil and michael.mcdowell.14@us.af.mil; however, this notice is not a request for quotation and no formal solicitation or RFQ will be issued. The adapters must meet specific technical requirements, including integration with the Passive Attenuation Communications Earphone (PACE) System, dimensional constraints not exceeding 1 inch by 1 inch by 2 inches in length, and approval by the designated test center. The government reserves the right to make a final determination regarding competition entirely at its discretion, and eligibility is effectively limited to vendors capable of supplying the tested and compatible T-Tap Adaptor Model 1003T.
