About this file

This document is a Non-Competitive Procurement Justification Memo from Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), dated 24 July 2025. Code 635 is requesting thirteen modified and five unmodified MIL-PRF compliant military Li6T batteries from BREN-TRONICS for lab testing, with delivery expected by September 11th. The procurement is being conducted under the simplified acquisition threshold, with justification based on brand name and exclusive licensing agreements, as Bren-tronics has established proprietary design and processes required to satisfy stringent military requirements.

The USMC is specifically fielding the Bren-tronics Li6T battery for their LVSR Anti-Idle retrofit kit (ARK), and requires a uniquely developed battery variant that will be tested and qualified. The battery has a National Stock Number (NSN) but cannot be obtained through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) due to the need for modified batteries. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source action, with the contracting officer certifying the facts and representations are complete and accurate to the best of their knowledge.
