The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking to procure 24 units of 3M Peltor ComTac VI NIB headsets through a federal contract. These headsets are essential for providing advanced hearing protection and enhancing communication capabilities among team members during training and operational activities, particularly in hazardous noise environments. The acquisition is critical due to the current limitations in communication systems, which do not support hands-free operation, thereby impacting safety during live-fire engagements. Interested vendors, particularly women-owned small businesses, must comply with federal regulations and submit their proposals following the specified guidelines, with inquiries directed to Elizabeth Tam-Hurley at elizabeth.h.tam-hurley@uscg.mil.
