JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE (Simplified Acquisitions <$100k) The service or material listed on Procurement Request (PR) number is sole source and competition is precluded for reasons indicated below. There are no substitutes available for this service/material.

The following firms were contacted and have indicated that they cannot provide an item/service that will meet the needs of the Government.

Company

Person Contacted Date of Call

Reason – This vendor does not supply a lithium-ion battery pouch cell meeting the requirements shown below.

Date of Call Reason: This vendor does not supply a lithium-ion battery pouch cell meeting the requirements shown below.

Date of Call Reason: This vendor does not supply a lithium-ion battery pouch cell meeting the requirements shown below.

Restricted to the following source. Provide original manufacturer’s name. (If a sole source information manufacturer distributes via dealers, ALSO provide dealer information.)

Manufacturer: POC:

Manufacturer’s Address:

Manufacturer’s Dealer/Rep: Phone Description of the item:

Estimated cost:

Required delivery date:

Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source (unique features, function of the item, etc). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources. (Explain)

The high-energy density batteries uniquely offered by the sole source manufacturer have specific characteristics that limit its availability. Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, the lithium-ion batteries from the sole source manufacturer are based on a high energy density anode material. The material type used in the battery is not unique and has been investigated for over a decade by government, private industry, and academia; however, this sole source manufacturer has found a material composition (i.e., a ratio of constituent materials) that enable them to offer a cost-effective, high-performance, and readily-available commercial battery product that meets the energy density requirements for associated government products.

The following criteria, which represent technical requirements defined by AIR 4.4.5 S&T Team, have all been met by the battery product offered by the sole source manufacturer:

· Battery Type: Secondary (i.e., rechargeable), Silicon-Based Anode

· Cell Format: Pouch

· Battery Cell Capacity: 4.5 Ah ± 0.2 Ah

· Nominal Voltage: within the range of 3.5 – 4.0 V

· Battery Cell Weight: less than or equal to 0.2 pounds

· Operational Temperature: within the range of -10 oC and 40 oC

· Cell Volume (excluding tabs): less than or equal to 0.03 Liters.

· Maximum Pulse Discharge Current: greater than or equal to 4A for a period no less than 20 seconds.

CHECK & FILL IN ALL APPLICABLE BLANKS BELOW

The requested material or service represents the minimum requirements of the government.

The material/service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed. Describe the equipment you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system. (Explain) A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition. The proprietary data is: (Explain) These are “direct replacements” parts/components for existing equipment.

Other information to support a sole-source buy: (Explain) I CERTIFY THAT STATEMENTS CHECKED, AND INFORMATION PROVIDED ABOVE, ARE COMPLETE AND CORRECT TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROCESSING OF THIS SOLE-SOURCE JUSTIFICATION PRECLUDES THE USE OF FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.
