OEM fitment on the Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 bumper includes an additional mounting point that secures the brush guard to the bumper. With four mounting points, the whole assembly is extremely firm on the vehicle.
See those holes on the brush guard at the approximate level of the plastic trim in the photo you provided? There should be a small "L" shaped bracket that would allow it to bolt right up to the bumper.
This photograph should illustrate the bracket that I mentioned. It is visible to the right of the fog lamp in the photogaph;
The brush guard will mount securely without the additional mouting points as well though, I don't forsee any issues without it.
Post some more pics, it looks great!

Sorry, I do not and I doubt that there is an individual part number for it though. If you like I could give you the dimensions of it and you could probably have somebody fabricate it for you. But if you did that, you would have to drill in your bumper since it is not the Tahoe Z71 bumper and you would likely have to remove the black plastic moulding around it as well. If the part fits securely without the bracket, I would recommend not damaging your bumper. Let me know though, I will take detailed pics and give you the dimensions if you would like! Take care!
