About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a pre-solicitation market research effort for a long-term contract to procure storage batteries, specifically NSN 6140013742243. The solicitation seeks sources capable of manufacturing battery storage items with an estimated annual demand of 31,009 units. Currently, only specific manufacturers like Clarios, LLC and Battery Power Centre Australasia Pty Ltd are approved to produce these batteries, with part numbers 8004-003 and 8004-003/MDL. Interested suppliers must complete a detailed market research questionnaire and return it to Matthew Stein by May 26, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 335910 for Battery Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and will use Bureau of Labor Statistics indexes for pricing considerations.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses, though the size standard suggests small businesses are eligible to compete. The contract appears to be structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a potential three-year base period and option years. While specific award value is not disclosed, the estimated yearly quantity of 31,009 units suggests a substantial procurement opportunity. Technical data and manufacturing knowledge limitations currently restrict sourcing to pre-approved manufacturers, meaning new sources will need to undergo a comprehensive source approval process that could take 90-180 days. The solicitation emphasizes that parts must be acquired from manufacturing sources specified on source control or selected item drawings, with suppliers required to demonstrate extensive technical documentation and manufacturing capabilities to be considered.
