Whiteboard Refresh Maxwell

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command, through the 42d Contracting Squadron at Maxwell Air Force Base, is conducting market research to procure replacement interactive whiteboard systems for use at multiple Air Force NCO Academies. The procurement seeks Newline Interactive Whiteboards or equivalent products meeting specific technical specifications, including 65-inch displays with 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), 40-point touch capability, embedded Android operating systems, anti-glare and anti-microbial tempered glass surfaces, and wireless screen casting functionality. Key qualifications and requirements include the ability to mount securely to pre-existing mobile stands with a minimum of three mounting positions, provision of Windows 11 Pro OPS expansion modules with i7-7500U processors minimum, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and 256GB SSD storage, along with comprehensive warranty documentation and technical support procedures. This is explicitly a sources sought notice for market research purposes only; no formal solicitation currently exists, no contract award will be made based on responses, and potential vendors are instructed not to submit quotes. Interested parties must submit company information, technical capabilities, and product specifications by email to the contracting officers by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on Friday, April 10, 2026.

This procurement utilizes no set-aside designations and represents the government's effort to identify qualified vendors and available products prior to formal competitive solicitation. The total procurement involves 58 interactive whiteboard units across a base year and option year deliveries, with the base year covering 21 units for Robert D. Gaylor NCO Academy at JBSA-Lackland, Texas, and option year one including 12 units for Mathies NCO Academy in Biloxi, Mississippi, and 25 units for Sheppard NCO Academy in Sheppard, Texas. All equipment must be brand new with manufacturer standard commercial warranties included at no additional cost, and software licensing shall be identified as either annual renewal or one-time purchase with pricing for additional years provided. No incumbent contractor or specific award value has been disclosed in this sources sought phase, as the government is still conducting preliminary market research to determine vendor capabilities and product availability before moving forward with formal procurement procedures.
