The basis for restricting competition is the proprietary design of the batteries and the manufacturer�s ability to diagnose their own problems to keep them fielded and improve the function of future SVRLA batteries. These are a particular product to one manufacturer, and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency requirement through any other source would impact the mission. All interested parties are encouraged to submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, analysis, a budgetary estimate of services, and mitigate the reason why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above, and identify other Government contracts with similar efforts for the Government�s consideration.
