KC 46 EFB Mounts

The contract seeks compliant semi-permanent Electronic Flight Bag mounting solutions for the KC-46 fleet at Travis AFB, addressing a critical gap in crew readiness and safety. The mounts must securely attach to the lower window frames on both sides of the aircraft without requiring tools for installation or removal, ensuring rapid deployment and zero damage to the airframe or window structure. The system must fully integrate with the PIVOT Click connection standard used by AMC and AFRC, match the contour of the window frame to eliminate sharp or raised surfaces, and meet FAA 14 CFR Part 23.853 flammability standards. It must reliably support EFB devices no smaller than an iPad Pro 11-inch and is designed to replace individual crew-issued solutions, saving approximately $148K over five years across four KC-46 squadrons. The solicitation, numbered FA442726Q906, is a presolicitation with a response deadline of July 23, 2026, and is set aside exclusively for small businesses under SBA guidelines. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 and is managed by the Department of Defense through the 60th Contracting Squadron. All proposals must be submitted through the SAM.gov portal, with primary point of contact being TSgt Hunter Losen and secondary contact TSgt Rachel Gil, both based at Travis AFB in California. The place of performance is listed as Linda, California, though the primary operational need is centered at Travis AFB, with the installed mounts intended for fleet-wide application to improve operational consistency and reduce long-term logistical costs.
