Bose Aircrew Headsets and Accessories (Brand Name)

The Air Force is issuing a single‑source, simplified‑acquisition RFQ (FA480926Q0029, issued 23 Apr 2026; offer due 29 Apr 2026, 1:00 PM local) to procure Bose ProFlight Series 2 headsets with a 6‑pin adapter. After extensive market testing of multiple headset models (Bose A30, David Clark, Telex, etc.), only the Bose ProFlight Series 2 satisfied all technical requirements, justifying the single‑source award under FAR 13.106‑1(b)(1). The contract will be evaluated on price, technical acceptability, and delivery; option pricing will be reviewed for balance but is not an obligation. The award is set aside for small‑business participation (WOSB, HUBZone, EDWOSB, SDVOSB) and is a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). Offerors must incorporate DFARS 252.211‑7003 and comply with the prohibition on covered defense telecommunications equipment (DFARS 252.204‑7018), as well as the ombudsman provision for concerns. Delivery is FOB destination, and the Government will monitor the market to prevent future brand‑name or single‑source awards.
