Procurement of 50 Brand Name Apple iPads

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seeks quotations for 50 Apple iPad 11th Generation tablets (manufacturer item number MD4G4LL/A, 256 GB, Wi-Fi only), with quotations due June 15, 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside procurement.

Delivery is required to the EPA's Pacific Ecology Division in Corvallis, Oregon (200 SW 35th Street, SSB 110) by June 26, 2026. The procurement is administered by the EPA's Cincinnati Procurement Operations Division, with Contracting Officer Dionna Jones-Banks (513-487-2054; JonesBanks.Dionna@epa.gov). The iPads will be used by the Office of Water/Office of Wetlands, Ocean, and Watershed to collect field data for the National Aquatic Resource Survey at over 1,000 sites across the country; the EPA's customized NARS field applications are compatible only with Apple devices.

The estimated total cost is $22,450. Award will be a Firm Fixed Price Purchase Order to a single awardee based on best value, evaluated on lowest price, technical acceptability, delivery schedule compliance, and fair and reasonable pricing. The Government intends to award without discussions, though reserves the right to conduct discussions if necessary. Quotations must remain valid for 30 days. FOB Destination terms apply; all shipping costs must be included in the quote, with the contractor assuming responsibility for damages in transit until government acceptance. Partial shipments are not authorized. Quotations must be submitted electronically through FedConnect and vendors must be registered in SAM and FedConnect. Technical questions are due one day after solicitation issuance. Amendment 0002 clarified that shipments may arrive in multiple packages but must arrive simultaneously, and that the due date cannot be extended due to project timeline constraints. Quotations for Apple iPad Pro models will not be accepted.
