About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa is seeking to procure 35 Apple iPad Mini (7th generation) tablets with A17 Pro chips for their Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program supporting F-16 operations. The specific model required is MXNA3LL/A featuring 256GB storage, Wi-Fi only configuration, 8.3" Liquid Retina display, and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, with cameras physically blocked for security compliance. These tablets will support mission-critical applications including ForeFlight, Box, and the Air Force Safety App, and must be compatible with Air Force Mobile Device Management tools like MaaS360. The procurement represents a technical refresh to prevent operational interruptions from potential iOS upgrade obsolescence, transitioning from existing iPad Mini 5's and 6's to ensure continued squadron EFB support. The solicitation was posted on June 13, 2025, with responses due by July 1, 2025, and delivery required within three months of contract award.
This solicitation operates under no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors. The quantity requirement is specifically 35 iPad Mini tablets to be delivered to the 480th Fighter Squadron located in Spangdahlem-Gelsdorf, Germany. Vendors may submit quotes in either EUR or USD, with delivery terms specified as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) via commercial carrier. The solicitation documents indicate that existing older generation iPads will be phased out and transferred to other Air Force agencies, while the new devices will integrate into the ACC CAP OMD Baseline Configuration requirements. No incumbent contractor information or specific budget range has been disclosed in the available documentation, though the procurement appears to be part of an ongoing equipment modernization strategy for Air Force flight operations.
