About this opportunity
The United States Air Force 7th Contracting Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base is conducting market research for Tactical Communication Headsets for garrison and field usage. The procurement involves a comprehensive communication headset system with seven line items, including tactical comm headsets with integrated microphones, noise-cancelling capabilities, mission configurable design, and compatibility with Ops-Core Near Field Magnetic Induction earplugs. Key requirements include helmet-mountable configuration, detachable downlead cables, modular push-to-talk systems with two-channel options, U174 Binaural cables, helmet rail mount kits, and adaptability to Team Wendy EXFIL helmets and PRC163 radios. The headsets must be Ops-Core brand or equivalent in tan color with double hearing protection and various mounting options. Interested firms must submit a Statement of Capability by 3:00 PM Central Standard Time on August 6, 2025, to SSgt Samuel Gonzales, including company details, cage code, and contact information.
This pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334290 for Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing. The procurement includes quantities ranging from 20 to 25 units across the seven line items, encompassing headsets, cables, mounting kits, earplug systems, and modular PTT devices. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the sources sought notice, as this is strictly a market research effort to determine contractor capabilities. The government emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation and will not reimburse submission costs or provide individual notifications of assessment results. The responses will help determine whether a future solicitation should be conducted as full and open competition or maintain the small business set-aside designation.
