- Description
- Sole Source. The Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Yuma Proving Ground intends to negotiate a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis with Bose Corporation, 100 The Mountain Rd Framingham, MA, 01701-8833. USAYPG has a requirement for replacement parts for the Product Improved Combat Vehicle Crewman (PICVC) Headsets. Bose is currently the exclusive provider of ground combat vehicle headsets, particularly for the M1 Abrams tanks, M109 Howitzers, and Bradley Fighting Vehicles that are tested and used at USAYPG. There is no alternative in terms of overall headset assemblies, or replacement parts. The Bose PICVC is equipped with patented noise canceling technology, known as Ambient Noise Reduction, which is required for use in excessively noisy environments, such as the interior of tanks and other combat vehicles. The Bose headsets that the USAYPG personnel use in support of testing, are the same exact headsets in use by troops that are currently deployed. In order to ensure that testing is as real-world as possible, it is imperative that USAYPG obtain not only what the troops are currently using, but also has the resources required to maintain existing stock of Bose headsets, which will be falling into a state of disrepair, if not adequately maintained. The impact of not having sufficient repair parts for these headsets would be unacceptable, from a readiness/testing standpoint, as vehicle operators cannot perform any operations without this piece of equipment, as it is not only a communication device, but an integral part of personal protective equipment as well. The North American Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334290 with a standard size of 750 employees.
