MSA-Tiger LH050T Flight Helmets

This sole‑source contract awards the United States Air Force Academy the procurement of ten MSA/Tiger LH050T flight‑helmet assemblies, complete with integrated Viper microphones, Bose helmet kits, and related accessories. The helmets will be delivered in three size categories (3 Large, 4 XL, 3 XXL) and include magnetic chin straps, a padded gear bag, and a headset system. Because the Viper 5‑inch microphone is a proprietary component supplied only by Tiger Performance Products, the government has justified a non‑competitive award under FAR 12.102(a). The procurement is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, set‑aside for small businesses, and is to be completed under a firm‑fixed‑price arrangement. No formal solicitation will be posted; vendors may only submit capability statements by the September 1, 2026 deadline. • 10 fully configured flight‑helmet assemblies (including helmets, microphones, and Bose A30 kits). • Sole‑source award to Tiger Performance Products, Inc. due to proprietary microphone component. • Small‑business set‑aside, firm‑fixed‑price, below SAT, with a single response deadline (Sept 1, 2026, 10 AM MDT).
