This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source acquisition over the micro-purchase threshold but not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. The key details are:

The requirement is for a Christie/MarathonNorco, 10X Automated Battery Maintenance System, including two Christie RF80-K chargers, to be used for maintenance and repair of C17A aircraft storage batteries. This item has unique technical characteristics that limit availability to only one source, the manufacturer. Market research was conducted, but no other sources were found to meet the government's requirements. The contracting officer has determined this sole source acquisition is in the best interest of the government. The estimated amount is $66,055. The requirement will be solicited as a small business set-aside.

The related federal contract opportunity is a combined synopsis/solicitation for the Automated Battery Management System, issued by the 164th Airlift Wing of the Department of the Army National Guard. The solicitation number is W50S99-24-Q-1004, and the NAICS code is 335999 All Other Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing. Quotes are being requested, with the goal of awarding a firm-fixed price contract to a small business.
