299 NOSS EoL Workstations

The Kansas Air National Guard at McConnell Air Force Base seeks quotations for 44 end-of-life workstation replacements across three line items—30 office desktops, 10 performance desktops, and 4 semi-rugged notebook computers—with proposals due September 22, 2026 at 9:00 AM CDT. This is a 100% small business set-aside with a 1,250-employee size standard; competition is restricted to small businesses.

Place of performance is Building 42, 57330 Mustang Drive, McConnell AFB, Kansas 67221. Delivery is required within 60 days of award.

All units must run DAF-approved 64-bit Windows Enterprise Edition with Microsoft Office Suite (government-furnished) and include TCG-certified TPM 2.0 soldered to the motherboard, dual independent digital video outputs, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet with PXE Boot capability, and 4-year Next Business Day on-site warranty with memory and storage media retention. Office Desktops require CPU PassMark of 30,000 or higher, 32GB DDR4 memory, and G3D Video PassMark of 1,650 or higher. Performance Desktops and Semi-Rugged Notebooks require CPU PassMark of 38,000 or higher, 64GB DDR5 and 16GB DDR5 memory respectively, and G3D Video PassMark of 9,500 or higher. Semi-Rugged Notebooks additionally require RS-232 serial port and 802.11ax wireless capability with physical disabling of wireless networking and microphones. An updated RFI document (posted September 21) clarified that for semi-rugged notebooks, CPU PassMark requirements are approximately 14,000–19,000 and G3D Mark approximately 2,500–4,000, correcting earlier specifications. Wireless card physical removal or disabling takes precedence over 802.11ax requirements for those units. Fiber-optic gigabit ethernet is preferred for office desktops but copper RJ-45 is acceptable as alternative; integrated GPUs meeting 9,500 G3D PassMark score satisfy semi-rugged notebook requirements.

Award is on a firm-fixed-price basis to the lowest price responsible offeror meeting technical requirements, with price and technical evaluation weighted equally.
