About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a federal contract opportunity (PR # 2126406B4200RA009, Amendment 0002) for Absolyte Battery Kits. The solicitation requires five brand-name Absolyte 100G17 battery kits configured as 24V 12-cell banks (4 cells across stacked three high), with configuration code M87-012-10017-014AIL and NSN 6140-01-627-6177. The Government's required delivery date is September 30, 2026, though the current manufacturer (Stryten Energy) indicates a lead time of approximately 14 weeks; the Government acknowledges this variance and understands that lead times will vary accordingly.
Delivery is FOB Destination, and partial shipments are acceptable and encouraged. Standard commercial packaging is acceptable; the only marking requirement is that the part number be visible on the packaging and the shipping label be accurate for proper delivery. No specialized military packaging, MIL-STD-129 markings, barcodes, RFID, or ISPM-15 wood packaging requirements apply. The Government will not provide MSL, TCN, DoDAAC, or shipment numbers after award. The reference to GNB Exide Technologies in the original attachment has been removed; the requirement is specifically for brand-name Absolyte Battery Kits.

Absolyte Battery Kits PR # 2126406B4200RA009 Amendment 0002
Attachment 6 – Q & A
Question #1: Stryten Energy, the current manufacturer of the specified Absolyte 100G17 system, now advises a lead time of approximately 14 weeks or sooner. Is September 30, 2026, mandatory, or will the Government amend the schedule or accept a quote based on Stryten’s current lead time?
Answer: While the Government’s need is 30 September 2026, it is understood that lead times will vary and are currently estimated by the Manufacturer to be approximately 14 weeks.
Question #2: Attachment 2 is a general informational guide, but the RFQ does not specify a packaging code, preservation method, packing level, barcode requirement, or military shipping information. Please identify the requirements applicable to this shipment, including whether ASTM D3951 commercial packaging is acceptable; which MIL-STD-129 markings or barcodes are required; whether RFID is required; whether ISPM-15 applies to wood packaging; and whether the Government will provide any required MSL, TCN, DoDAAC, or shipment number after award.
Answer: Standard commercial packaging is acceptable. Only marking required is that the P/N is visible on the packaging and the shipping label is accurate for proper delivery.
Question #3: Attachment 1 references GNB Exide Technologies. Please confirm that Stryten Energy’s current 100G17 12-cell assembly, M87-012-10017-014AIL, drawing 438817, satisfies the brand-name requirement for part number 100G17 and NSN 6140-01-627-6177.
Answer: The reference to GNB Exide Technologies has been removed. The need is for brand-name Absolyte Battery Kits.
Question #4: Please confirm whether delivery is FOB Destination and whether all five kits must arrive together or partial deliveries are acceptable.
Answer: Delivery is FOB Destination and partial shipments are acceptable/encouraged.
Question #5: Would you please ask your customer for the system configuration (how the cells are stacked and where the +/- terminals are located)?
Answer: The battery bank configuration is a 24V 12 cell bank (4 cells across stacked three high). Configuration code: M87-012-10017-014AIL.
