6140 rechargeable battery

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure rechargeable batteries through a pre-solicitation notice for a brand name acquisition. This procurement will be negotiated on a brand name basis with Western Technology, Inc., utilizing FAR 6.302-1 under Commercial and Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Parts 12 and 13). The acquisition falls under NAICS code 335910 for Battery Manufacturing and PSC code 6140 for Batteries, Rechargeable. Authorized small business distributors may express interest and capability to respond to the requirement prior to the offer due date, which will be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The solicitation is anticipated to be posted on Sam.gov on approximately June 11, 2025, with quotes due on June 17, 2025. Questions regarding this opportunity should be directed to LORRAINE.M.SMALL.CIV@US.NAVY.MIL.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, allowing only qualified small businesses to compete. Western Technology, Inc. is identified as the brand name contractor for this acquisition, suggesting they may be the incumbent or preferred vendor. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price supply contract for this procurement. The determination not to compete this action based on responses received to this notice remains solely within the government's discretion. Prospective offerors are responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation from Sam.gov and monitoring the site for amendments, as the government is not responsible for any offeror's inability to access posted documents. The quick turnaround time from solicitation posting to quote submission indicates this is likely a simplified acquisition with an accelerated timeline.
