About this opportunity
The Air Mobility Command at Travis Air Force Base intends to solicit electronic flight bag mounts for KC-46 aircraft on a Total Small Business Set-Aside basis, with an anticipated Request for Quotation release following this presolicitation notice and an anticipated award date of August 17, 2026.
The procurement calls for 48 long-term removable mounts: 24 units for the left/captain seat and 24 units for the right/first officer seat. All mounts must be PIVOT system-compatible with the "Click!" connection and capable of supporting iPad Pro 11-inch hardware. Mounts must enable secure, tool-less crew installation and removal to the right and left lower window frames of KC-46 aircraft without damage, fit contoured to the window frame, and present no raised or sharp surfaces that could injure crew. All items must comply with FAA 14 CFR Part 23.853 flammability requirements. Brand-name or equal products are acceptable; reference item codes are PM-KC-46-L-1001 and PM-KC-46-R-1001 (Slide Mount SLD8-1001 with 3540 connectors).
Place of performance is Travis Air Force Base, California. Work is performed at four KC-46 squadrons. The government estimates this equipment-mounted approach will save approximately $148,000 across the four squadrons over five years compared to issuing individual crew mounts. The anticipated vehicle is a firm-fixed-price purchase order awarded on a Lowest-Priced, Technically Acceptable basis. Shipping and handling costs must be included in pricing.

Notice text
Description: The vast majority of the KC-46 fleet at Travis AFB lacks semi-permanent Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) mounting solutions. These mounts allow the secure placement and ready reference of EFBs during flight, enhancing aircrew awareness and responsiveness. Additionally, semi-permanent mounts allow the aircraft to be outfitted rather than each individual crewmember, saving four KC-46 squadrons approximately $148K in costs to issue individual solutions over the next 5 years. AMC/AFRC EFB case purchases use the PIVOT system of mounting for ease/stability. The mounting system must be fully compatible with the PIVOT “Click!” connection system. It must also allow secure, tool-less crew installation to the right and left lower window frames of the KC-46 aircraft and like crew removal without damage to the window or frame. When installed the bracket must fit contoured to the window frame and not allow a raised or sharp surface that could injure a crewmember. The solution must comply with FAA 14 CFR Part 23.853 flammability requirements and support EFB hardware at the minimum weight/size of an iPad Pro 11-inch.
