About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is procuring 80 Apple iPad A16 11-inch tablets with 256GB storage capacity to serve as Electronic Flight Books (EFBs) for Aeromedical Evacuation crew members. The iPads must meet specific salient characteristics including an A16 chip, Liquid Retina display with 2360-by-1640-pixel resolution, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, dual 12MP cameras, Touch ID, and compatibility with Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio. The devices will contain up-to-date publications, regulations, aircraft knowledge, and medical compendium necessary for mission execution under the Combat Air Forces Operational Mobile Device Program. The evaluation will be conducted using a two-factor approach, with offers first ranked by price, followed by technical evaluation starting with the lowest-priced responsive offer to determine acceptability. The solicitation was posted on September 4, 2025, with responses due by September 10, 2025, and includes an amendment that removed specific model number and color requirements while maintaining the 256GB storage specification.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns only. The contract value is estimated to fall between the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and $750,000, with no incumbent contractor identified in the documentation. Any authorized Apple product reseller may compete for this requirement, with pricing determined according to manufacturer MSRP and price catalogs under FAR 13.106-3 guidelines. The quantity specification calls for exactly 80 iPad units to be delivered to support the Air Force's aeromedical evacuation operations. Performance will take place at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, with the 19th Contracting Squadron managing the procurement process.
