This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Determination Memorandum for a sole source procurement. The procurement is for a new R&D project involving battery enclosures, which will be developed in various sizes to accommodate different battery configurations and accessories. AmperVolt is the only company identified as capable of providing the battery housing and meeting the specific requirements of NAWCAD Lakehurst's project.

The document justifies the sole source acquisition by noting that AmperVolt is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only provider of a system and module that meets all project requirements. Market research indicates their Modular Battery Box for Tesla Battery Modules is the only system combining the required features. The government acknowledges barriers to competition for this specific part number and is seeking to procure the item under simplified acquisition procedures for an estimated amount between $10,000 and $250,000.
