The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Battery Specialties, Inc., a small business based in Costa Mesa, California. The single-award IDC, valued at $250,000, enables DLA to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for non-rechargeable batteries to support military operations. Through this contract vehicle, Battery Specialties will provide various battery products, such as 9-volt, AA, and AAA cells, from its Costa Mesa facility. The original solicitation, issued under FAR Part 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, sought a supplier of NSN 6135-01-358-7471 BATTERY, NONRECHARGE to fulfill DLA's requirements. With an anticipated 5-year period of performance including options, this IDC demonstrates Battery Specialties' ongoing relationship with DLA and its ability to consistently meet the agency's needs for essential power components utilized by the U.S. military services.

To date, DLA has issued several delivery orders to Battery Specialties under this IDC, ranging from $11,000 to $49,000, for the supply of various non-rechargeable battery stock numbers. These firm fixed-price awards have specified delivery to DLA's Land and Maritime location in Costa Mesa, California, with no set-aside provisions applied. The contracted batteries will help power small electronic devices and equipment used in military operations supported by DLA, which oversees the procurement and distribution of common consumable items for the Department of Defense.
