Extension of Posting Period Presolictation notice to procure Brand Name Apple iPhone via NASA SEWP

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of Apple iPhone 17 devices and related accessories to support military personnel at the Forward Deployed Regional Maintenance Center (FDRMC) and Naval Forces Europe/Africa, Sixth Fleet (NAVEUR/NAVAF/SIXTHFLT) headquarters in Naples, Italy. This is a brand-name procurement that will be conducted as a firm-fixed-price delivery order through the NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC), with only existing NASA SEWP V prime contract holders eligible to respond to the forthcoming RFQ anticipated on or about May 1, 2026. The successful contractor must be an Apple Authorized Reseller capable of enrolling devices into the government's Apple Business Manager instance prior to delivery and providing warranty and ABM enrollment services. While specific evaluation criteria have not been detailed in this pre-solicitation notice, the contract will follow the standard SEWP V evaluation methodology. The formal RFQ is expected to be released on or around May 1, 2026, with the pre-solicitation comment period closing on April 9, 2026, allowing interested NASA SEWP V contract holders time to prepare their proposals.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations and carries a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition due to the brand-name Apple requirement. The bill of materials specifies 400 iPhone 17 devices (256GB, Black) divided between two military commands, along with 150 ruggedized protective cases and 150 Apple-certified USB-C power adapters (20W or higher) for FDRMC. The devices must be new, factory-sealed in original packaging, and sourced from an authorized supply chain, with delivery on an FOB Destination basis to two separate locations in Naples, Italy. No specific contract award value or budget range has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, though the quantity of equipment provides an indication of the procurement's scale. The government reserves the right to cancel this acquisition at any time and has emphasized that this pre-solicitation notice does not constitute a formal solicitation or obligate the government to award a contract.
