Battery, storage

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought market research for battery storage procurement under solicitation SPE7LX25R0041. The agency is seeking manufacturers capable of producing storage batteries with National Stock Number 6140014469506, with an estimated annual demand of 19,139 units. Interested contractors must complete and return a detailed market survey and spreadsheet to Matthew Stein by March 31, 2025, demonstrating their manufacturing capabilities. The procurement will utilize Bureau of Labor Statistics indexes for storage batteries, specifically PPI335911.A.FOS, and is classified under the Battery Manufacturing NAICS code 335910. Potential suppliers will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical drawing specifications (6TMF/TYPEII), manufacturing capacity, and compliance with the small business size standard of 1,250 employees.

The procurement does not have a specific small business set-aside designation, and potential manufacturers can access additional technical drawings through the cFolders website using the query MR014469506. While specific potential incumbents are not explicitly named in the documents, the market research spreadsheet suggests possible manufacturers like Oshkosh Defense, LLC and JC Bamford Excavators Ltd. might be of interest. The contract appears to be structured as a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a three-year base period and option years. Technical review and source approval could take between 90-180 days, and submission does not guarantee future contract award. Manufacturers must be prepared to submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their technical capabilities, quality certifications, and manufacturing processes to be considered for this battery storage procurement.
