Dell Pro Rugged 14" Laptops

The U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is procuring twenty-two configured Dell Pro Rugged 14 Laptops under a total small business set-aside contract with solicitation number N68335-26-Q-0394, issued on May 21, 2026. The requirement is strictly defined by Dell SKU specifications, including an Intel Core Ultra 7 165U processor, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 14-inch FHD touchscreen, rugged keyboard, 65W USB-C adapter, dual batteries, GPS module, and specialized antennas, with no operating system pre-installed. All units must be delivered within three weeks of award to Joint Base MDL, Lakehurst, New Jersey, with delivery addressed to Samuel Pagano. The contract is a firm-fixed-price acquisition with pricing data unpopulated in the CLIN table, and the award is strongly implied to follow the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology due to the absence of evaluation factors, technical trade-off provisions, or non-price criteria, and the presence of a small business set-aside under FAR 19.5. The NAICS code 334111 applies, and offerors must be certified small businesses meeting the 1,500-employee size standard. Technical compliance is verified through exact SKU conformance, with acceptance occurring at the delivery point by the government. Support includes Dell ProSupport Flex with three-year next-business-day onsite service and Keep Your Hard Drive provisions, and all hardware must be TAA-compliant. Packaging and marking requirements reference SKU labels but lack specifics on materials, environmental protection, or adherence to MIL-STDs such as 129 or 2073-1, and no formal contract clauses, attachments, payment details, accounting codes, invoicing systems, or contracting officer representatives are detailed in the available documentation.
