Fuel Cell Power Units, Components, And Accessories

PSC Category 6116 focuses on fuel cell power units, components, and accessories, encompassing a wide range of electrical power generation and storage technologies. These products include solid oxide fuel cells, power systems, batteries, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), voltage regulators, and related equipment designed to provide portable, reliable, and efficient power solutions for various government applications. The technologies support critical infrastructure, military operations, diplomatic facilities, border patrol, and emergency response efforts across multiple federal agencies.

Federal Contract Awards under this PSC category reveal a consistent pattern of procurement from agencies like the Defense Logistics Agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of State, and Department of Energy. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders ranging from $10,000 to $350,000, with performance periods typically spanning 3-12 months. Frequent contractors include Jobe & Company, Inc., Edge Autonomy Energy Systems, and Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees. The majority of these contracts are not set aside for specific business types, indicating open competition. Delivery locations are predominantly in the United States, with performance primarily in Maryland, California, Washington, and various diplomatic missions abroad.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities demonstrate continued interest in fuel cell and power generation technologies. The U.S. Army has issued a pre-solicitation request for market research on a Platoon Power Generation (PPG) program seeking a lightweight, soldier-portable power source capable of generating and swapping power for up to 72 hours. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has also posted a solicitation for four specific brand-name solid oxide fuel cells and filter kits for the Spokane Sector, highlighting the need for specialized, integrated power systems that can support border patrol operations. These opportunities underscore the ongoing demand for innovative, portable power solutions across military and civilian federal agencies.
