7 NSN sources sought

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of manufacturing specific battery storage items and a battery rack. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to gather information about potential manufacturers who can produce seven different National Stock Number (NSN) battery and rack products. The agency is collecting vendor information including company names, locations, and point of contact details to be submitted to Scott Knowles via email at Scott.Knowles@dla.mil or by phone at 614-692-0639. This Request for Information (RFI) is strictly for market research purposes under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10, and respondents should understand that no solicitation is currently being issued. Responses are voluntary, will not be considered offers, and will not result in a binding contract.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or provide details about potential award values or contract budgets. The notice is focused on the Battery Manufacturing sector (NAICS 335910) and specifically targets batteries and battery racks with Product Service Code 6140. Interested manufacturers are being asked to provide capabilities related to seven specific NSN items, primarily storage batteries and one battery rack. The market research window is relatively short, with responses due by April 23, 2025, just one week after the initial posting on April 16, 2025. Vendors should be aware that any information submitted will be at their own expense, and the government will not reimburse any costs associated with submitting capability statements. The ultimate goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing capabilities available for these specific battery and rack items.
