Custom Fitting: Conduct individual, in-person sizing and fitting sessions for 67 Government personnel.

Single Vendor / Turnkey Requirement Preference: The Government highly prefers to deal with a single prime vendor capable of executing all aspects of the Statement of Work (PPE sourcing, retail fitting, and technical communication headset modification). Split awards or dividing requirements among multiple contractors are highly discouraged to avoid compatibility, scheduling, and administrative risks.
