Battery, nonrechargeable

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime has issued a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes regarding the procurement of nonrechargeable batteries under NSN 6135-01-527-9592. This market research initiative is designed to gather information from potential suppliers before issuing a formal solicitation for a one-time procurement of batteries that must comply with basic drawing NR 30003 1794AS0953 Revision E dated July 20, 2009, and reference QAP 13873 CDRL-COQC-22104 Revision dated April 8, 2022. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335910 (Battery Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested vendors must complete and submit a detailed market survey questionnaire to Zachary Rodriguez at Zachary.rodriguez@dla.mil by the close of business on September 16, 2025. The survey requests comprehensive information about business size classification, manufacturing capabilities, inventory status, commercial item classification, delivery timelines, packaging compliance, and willingness to provide firm fixed-price offers.

This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified suppliers regardless of business size. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are specifically mentioned in the notice. The initial estimated quantity for this battery procurement is 1,050 units, with the market survey indicating a potential option for up to 2,100 total units across the base contract and option periods. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the quantities and specialized nature of the nonrechargeable batteries suggest a substantial procurement opportunity. The formal solicitation with detailed specifications, drawings, and pricing requirements will be published separately following the completion of this market research phase. Vendors should note that this is strictly a market research initiative and not a request for quotes or proposals at this time.
