About this file
This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a Limited Sources Acquisition over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The Iowa National Guard is seeking to purchase Apple iPad Air M2 devices with access to the Foreflight application, as well as pivot cases to secure the iPads during flight. The requirement is being limited to a single source, Apple, due to the unique characteristics of the iPad and Foreflight application, which are the only option that meets the government's needs per AR 95-1. Market research was conducted, and five small disadvantaged business vendors were identified as potential sources, who will be solicited for quotes. This acquisition will be set aside for 100% small disadvantaged businesses.
