About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is procuring Microsoft Surface Pro tablets and related accessories for the Civilian Leadership Development School (CLDS) through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items under FAR Subpart 12.6. The procurement specifically requires 26 units of Microsoft Surface Pro 10 tablets with Windows 11 Pro, Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD, along with Kensington Blackbelt tablet cases with CAC readers, Microsoft Surface keyboards with stylus, and Surface docks. Contractors must be authorized Microsoft resellers and provide current reseller authorization documentation, as quotes without this requirement will be considered non-responsive. The procurement is justified as single source due to compatibility requirements with existing Air Force Global College systems, where Microsoft Surface Pro devices have been the standard platform since 2019. The solicitation constitutes the only solicitation document with quotes being requested, and responses are due September 18, 2025.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with no incumbent contractors specifically identified in the documentation. While exact award values are not disclosed, the procurement utilizes 3400 Air Force Funds and involves 26 complete tablet systems with accessories for educational use. The tablets must be delivered to Maxwell ADPE Warehouse at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, with all items required to be brand new with standard OEM commercial warranties. The procurement timeline is extremely compressed with only three days between posting and the response deadline. The government conducted competitive sourcing efforts on September 9, 2025, across multiple platforms including 2GIT, GSA MAS, and SAM.gov, but determined that no vendors successfully proposed alternative products meeting the required performance and compatibility standards.
