Bose Aircrew Headsets and Accessories (Brand Name)

This solicitation, FA480926Q0029, is a total small business set-aside for the procurement of Bose ProFlight Series 2 aviation headsets with Bluetooth capability, along with two specialized adapters: a 6-pin LEMO to fixed wing dual plug adapter and a 6-pin LEMO to helicopter adapter. The requirement is issued by the 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina and is strictly limited to small business concerns as defined under FAR 19.5. All deliveries must be made to Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, under F.O.B. Destination terms, meaning the contractor bears all transport risks and costs until the items are received at the destination. The contract mandates compliance with stringent military standards, including MIL-STD-130 for unique item identification using two-dimensional Data Matrix symbology, MIL-STD-129 for shipment labeling, and DFARS 252.211-7003 for item unique identification and valuation.

Payment and invoicing must be conducted exclusively through WAWF, with cost and fixed-price line items requiring specific electronic document types such as invoices and receiving reports. The evaluation for award will consider price, technical acceptability, and delivery without weighted scoring, focusing on the best value to the government. Contractors must also comply with numerous clauses covering whistleblower rights, prohibition of hexavalent chromium, disclosure of covered telecommunications equipment, representation of no business ties to sanctioned regimes, and adherence to SAM.gov maintenance and security protocols. All proposals must be submitted by the deadline of April 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM local time, and must include full representations of small business status and UEI/CAGE codes where applicable. The delivery schedule requires fulfillment within 30 calendar days from the date of award receipt, and packaging must meet all DoD logistics standards without explicit details provided beyond MIL-STD references.
