Battery Manufacturing

The Battery Manufacturing NAICS category (335910) encompasses the production of various battery types, including primary and secondary batteries, storage batteries, and specialized battery assemblies for military, industrial, and commercial applications. These batteries range from non-rechargeable cells to complex lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems used in diverse equipment such as naval vessels, uninterruptible power supplies, mobile equipment, and ground sensor systems. Manufacturers in this category produce batteries with precise technical specifications, often tailored to specific equipment requirements and operational environments.

Recent federal contract awards in this category primarily involve the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the U.S. Navy, with solicitations typically set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and woman-owned small businesses. Contract values range from tens of thousands to potentially over $20 million, with durations spanning one to five years. Frequently awarded manufacturers include Bren-Tronics Defense LLC, Ultralife Corp, and BAE Systems, with delivery locations predominantly at military distribution centers in California, such as the DLA Distribution San Joaquin facility. Contracts often involve supplying battery assemblies, storage batteries, and replacement battery kits for specific naval vessels, military equipment, and infrastructure support systems.

Recent federal contract opportunities demonstrate a concentrated focus on procuring specialized battery systems for military and infrastructure applications. The opportunities span multiple federal agencies, including the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Energy, and Army Contracting Command. Specific solicitations include battery sets for naval destroyers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system upgrades for military bases, battery replacements for ground sensor systems, and storage batteries for various military vessels. Performance locations include naval bases, military distribution centers, and federal facilities across the United States, with most opportunities targeting small businesses and requiring precise technical specifications and rapid delivery timelines.
