About this opportunity
The 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base is soliciting quotes for Ops-Core branded tactical communication headsets and associated equipment for garrison and field usage. The procurement includes tactical communication headsets with integrated microphones, noise-cancelling capabilities, and compatibility with Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI) earplugs, along with supporting accessories such as downlead cables, earplug kits, helmet rail mount kits, platform adapters for Team Wendy helmets, PRC163 radio cables, and modular push-to-talk units. Quotes must be submitted via email to samuel.gonzales.1@us.af.mil by September 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST, and must include a signed RFQ page, technical specifications sheet, and proposed delivery period. The evaluation will be based solely on the lowest price of technically acceptable items, with quotes required to remain valid until November 30, 2025. The government has noted that funds are not presently available for this effort, and reserves the right to cancel the solicitation without obligation to reimburse offerors.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designation and is structured as a brand name acquisition specifically for Ops-Core equipment due to unique technical requirements and compatibility needs with the Thales AN/PRC-163 radio platform. The quantities required include 20 units each of the primary headset components (items 0001-0004) and 25 units each of the platform adapters, radio cables, and PTT units (items 0005-0007). A Sources Sought notice posted in August 2025 received six responses, but none met the technical criteria, leading to the sole-source justification for Ops-Core equipment. The desired delivery schedule is 30 calendar days after contract award, with a maximum allowable delivery period of 60 calendar days. Performance will take place in Abilene, Texas, with the equipment intended for use by Air Force personnel at Dyess Air Force Base and potentially other locations requiring tactical communication capabilities.
