About this IDV
Nanograf Corporation was awarded an $8.2 million Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) by the Army Materiel Command's Research Development and Engineering Command on September 25, 2023. This multiple-award IDV, not set aside for any specific business category, establishes a lithium-ion battery cell research pilot line focused on advancing rechargeable battery technology for military applications. The primary objective is to leverage Nanograf's proprietary silicon monoxide (SiO) anode materials to develop domestic 18650 cylindrical battery cells that achieve the highest energy density possible while meeting military battery requirements. The pilot line will support the design, fabrication, and testing of next-generation lithium-ion batteries and innovative battery materials and architectures through prototype development activities.
The IDV vehicle structure enables task order issuance for ongoing research and development efforts under the battery technology program. Nanograf's work under this vehicle aligns with the Department of Defense's broader strategic objective to strengthen domestic battery supply chain capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign battery technology sources. The contractor's concurrent $174.8 million Department of Energy manufacturing grant to establish a 2,500-ton-per-year silicon monoxide anode production facility in Flint, Michigan, demonstrates vertical integration of research, development, and manufacturing capabilities. This coordinated effort between the defense research contract and the civilian sector manufacturing investment positions Nanograf to transition prototype technologies developed under this IDV into scalable production for both military and potential commercial battery applications.
