Radio Communication Headsets

This contract, solicitation number PANROC-23-P-000-006218, was issued by the Department of Defense through the Army Contracting Command – Rock Island for the acquisition of 30 radio communication headsets. The procurement was designated as a Total Small Business set-aside and executed as a firm-fixed-price delivery order under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The award was based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process. The requirement specifically mandated 3M part number 7100148701 headsets, which are headband suspension-type and intrinsically safe. This brand-name limitation was justified by the need for safety certifications for use in high explosive areas and interoperability with existing equipment at the Headquarters, Joint Munitions Command located at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. The project was funded via FY 2023 Operations and Maintenance funds and required delivery within 14 days of the award.
