Argonne RFP No 5-B191-P-00165-00.zip

This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) from Argonne National Laboratory for the design and assembly of battery systems for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. The solicitation requires a comprehensive study to design lithium-ion battery packs with specific technical parameters, including designing cells, modules, and packs for two battery chemistries (NMC811-Graphite and LFP-Graphite) across three energy requirements (100, 200, and 500 kWh).

The project scope involves creating detailed designs and cost estimates for six total battery system configurations, with the expectation that all designs will be for vehicles and manufacturing located in the United States. The work is intended to provide Argonne with precise cell-to-pack and pack-to-system cost modeling for a manufacturing plant with a 25,000 vehicle per year capacity. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Energy Office of Science, targeting advanced battery technology development for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle applications.
