DLA Estimates annual demand of this battery at 10,194 each year. The contract will be split over a series of delivery orders, each with an estimated quantity of 850 packages.\u00a0 The total estimated quantity over four years is 40,776 packages.<\/p>\n

Small business advantage<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the three approved sources (Ultralife, Ultralife UK and Saft America), only one of them is a small business.\u00a0 Currently this solicitation is not set-aside for small business, but savy contractors might be able to force it to be re-designated.\u00a0 A little known rule in the Federal Acquisition Regulations allows contracting officers to re-designate a contract to small business if two or more small business concerns can provide reasonable offers. Since one of the three approved sources is a small business, a second one making an offer could potentially cause the contract to be set-aside only for small business.<\/p>\n
