About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, is preparing to issue a solicitation for the acquisition of Apple iPhone smartphones for official government use at Mission Turkey. The devices must be brand new, original Apple equipment that has been legally imported into Turkey by Apple Turkey and complies with all Turkish regulatory requirements, including International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) registration with the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK). All smartphones must be covered by an Apple Turkey manufacturer warranty for a minimum of two years, and refurbished, remanufactured, grey-market, or unauthorized products will not be accepted. The government intends to award the contract using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest-priced, technically acceptable quotation. The pre-solicitation notice indicates the actual solicitation will be published on SAM.gov with a response deadline to be specified in the forthcoming Request for Quotations, though the current synopsis shows a due date of August 29, 2025.
This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all responsible sources. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are mentioned in the pre-solicitation notice. The solicitation will specify the exact quantity of iPhone devices needed and provide complete technical specifications in the upcoming RFQ. Award may be made based on initial offers without further discussions, and no pre-quotation conference is planned. Delivery will be required directly to the U.S. Embassy Ankara, and prospective vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) prior to contract award.
