6140016787176, Storage Battery for the NET WARRIOR and LEADER RADIO systems

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is preparing to solicit a storage battery (NSN 6140016787176) for the NET WARRIOR and LEADER RADIO systems through an Indefinite Quantity long-term contract. Currently, L3Harris Global Communications (CAGE Code 7QAK7) is the only approved source for this battery, and the agency lacks technical data to procure these items independently. The pre-solicitation notice aims to identify additional potential sources interested in becoming approved manufacturers. Interested parties must submit information according to DLAD Procurement Note L04 for part-numbered items, with responses due by March 14, 2025. Respondents are required to provide their CAGE Code and can submit alternative offer packages for consideration in future procurements, though the agency currently has no data to evaluate alternate products.

There are no specific set-aside designations for this contract opportunity, and the procurement falls under the Battery Manufacturing NAICS category (335910). The solicitation will be separately synopsized at a later date, with interested sources notified via email when the full solicitation is published on DIBBS. While specific award values or contract quantities are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract is structured as an Indefinite Quantity long-term agreement. All responses must be submitted directly to Rebecca Halteman via email at rebecca.halteman@dla.mil. Potential sources should carefully review all requirements before submitting alternate offer packages, understanding that the agency currently relies on L3Harris Global Communications as the primary approved source for this specialized battery.
