AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi, under the Department of State, is soliciting quotations for the supply and delivery of 29 new, factory-sealed Apple iPhone units to support the Office of Defense Partnership, with the solicitation number PR15871514. The requirement is for specific models—two iPhone 17 Pro Max units in 256GB Silver and twenty-seven iPhone 17 Base units in Black—all of which must be delivered in original, unopened Apple packaging with no signs of tampering, unenrolled in Apple Business Manager, and accompanied by a digital list of serial numbers and IMEIs verified through Apple’s official tools. Quotations must be submitted electronically by May 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM UAE time, strictly in PDF format under 10 MB per file, using the prescribed subject line and directed to AbuDhabiContracts@state.gov with a copy to BactadMA@state.gov. All bidders must be registered in SAM with an active UEI and CAGE code, and must complete and submit the SF-1449 form along with Section 1 Pricing, Section 5 Representations and Certifications, proof of SAM registration, and either a completed Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management Questionnaire or a State Department Secure Software Development Attestation Form. Bidders must also be Apple Authorized Resellers or provide verifiable proof that their devices originate exclusively from one. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process under FAR Part 13, where technical acceptability is evaluated first through mandatory gates: compliance with all solicitation instructions, passing the C-SCRM criteria with “Go” status, and meeting all six technical requirements—including authentic factory-sealed devices, 12-month warranty, delivery within 14 days of purchase order issuance, and adherence to prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment under FAR 52.204-25. Any failure in these areas eliminates a quotation from consideration, regardless of price. Among the technically acceptable submissions, award will go to the lowest total evaluated price, which includes all units, shipping, handling, and VAT. The delivery location is the U.S. Embassy Abu Dhabi under FOB Destination terms, meaning the vendor bears all costs and risks until formal acceptance by the Diplomatic Technology Officer at the embassy. The contract will be firm-fixed-price, with no modifications, options, or extended performance periods
