The U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Tracer Technologies Inc., doing business as ECO Division, for the procurement of Battery Power Supply MK176 Mod 0 to support the MK 62/63 Mod 3 Mine Quickstrike program. The $1.4 million IDC has a ceiling value of $1,401,584.58 and a period of performance through July 2025. As the sole certified source able to meet urgent delivery timelines, Tracer Technologies will provide specialized non-magnetic lithium-thionyl chloride batteries for integration into these naval mine countermeasure systems. This award was not set aside, and is funded by the Navy. A $266,293.32 firm fixed price delivery order was also issued under the IDC to provide initial MK176 Mod 0 batteries by January 2024. The original sole source justification cited Tracer Technologies' unique design and Navy certification of the lithium battery cells, as well as the lengthy 18-24 month certification process required for any alternate sources. This would have resulted in unacceptable schedule risk to the government in meeting the requirement for 200-400 batteries within 20 months to support the MK 62/63 Mod 3 Quickstrike Mine program's initial operational capability. As the only approved supplier able to meet the urgent delivery timeline, Tracer Technologies was awarded this IDC by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division.
