Battery, storage

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring 3,692 units of storage batteries, identified by NSN 6140-016627350, through a commercial procurement process governed by FAR Part 12 and solicited under FAR Part 13.5. The government will evaluate offers based on a combination of price, delivery performance, and supplier performance history, with delivery required within 102 days FOB destination to the specified ship-to address (W62G2T). All interested suppliers are eligible to submit offers in English and US dollars through either the DIBBS (Defense Intelligence Contracting Bidding System) platform or via email to Sarah Harmon at sarah.harmon@dla.mil, with proposals exceeding 15 MB requiring submission across multiple emails. The full solicitation is expected to be available on the DLA Internet Bid Board Site on or about February 4, 2026, with proposals due February 3, 2026—indicating this is a compressed timeline typical of commercial item procurements. The procurement is conducted under the Trade Agreements Act of 1979, and interested vendors should begin preparations immediately given the one-day window between the pre-solicitation notice posting and the proposal deadline.

This is an open competition procurement with no set-aside designation, though the solicitation identifies Enersys as an approved source under contract numbers 0WY95 and 0790-2512, suggesting prior successful performance on similar requirements. The acquisition includes a 100% options clause, indicating the government may increase quantities up to that amount based on future needs. While specific dollar values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the volume of 3,692 units with potential for additional quantities suggests a substantial procurement opportunity. The contract specialist managing this opportunity is Sarah Harmon at the Defense Logistics Agency, who can be reached at sarah.harmon@dla.mil for any clarifications regarding the solicitation requirements or submission procedures.
