The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a ceiling value of $1,238,160,530.67 to Inventus Power (Illinois) LLC, doing business as Palladium Energy Inc., for the provision of conformal wearable batteries. This multiple award IDC contract runs from May 2021 through May 2024, with the first $411,199 delivery order issued in May 2021 for batteries designed to conform to a soldier's body and equipment to enhance mobility.
The original pre-solicitation notice indicated the Army was seeking up to 200,000 conformal wearable lithium-ion batteries meeting specific military specifications around flexibility, durability, and low-temperature charging. An industry day was held to provide details on requirements and gather feedback from interested vendors prior to issuing the final solicitation. As a prime contractor, Inventus Power has previously provided conformal wearable batteries and storage batteries to the Army and Defense Logistics Agency under separate contract vehicles, establishing its capabilities to fulfill this IDC contract.
