Miscellaneous Battery Retaining Fixtures, Liners And Ancillary Items

The Product and Service Code (PSC) 6160-P covers Miscellaneous Battery Retaining Fixtures, Liners And Ancillary Items, which encompasses a wide range of battery-related components and accessories used primarily in military and government applications. These items include battery trays, boxes, racks, covers, retainers, and associated parts critical for supporting various electronic and vehicle systems. The components are typically designed to secure, protect, and maintain batteries in specialized environments, ranging from military vehicles to uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

Award values range from under $100 to over $70,000, with most contracts being firm fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders. Frequently awarded entities include Oshkosh Defense LLC, Carson Industries, Raytheon Company, and various small businesses like MTC Engineering and Par Defense Industries. Most awards are not set aside, though some utilize total small business set-asides. The primary places of performance are DLA Distribution centers, with locations in Tracy, California, and New Cumberland, Pennsylvania being frequently mentioned.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this PSC category primarily involve battery-related components for military and government applications. Opportunities include battery tray replacements for the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, battery cabinet assemblies for the U.S. Coast Guard, and UPS battery replacements for agencies like the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. The solicitations consistently seek specialized battery components with precise technical specifications, often requiring vendors to meet strict quality and manufacturing standards.
