About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources to manufacture thermal batteries under NSN 6135-016191582. Currently, CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC (93455) with part number 6186100 is the only approved source for this item. The procurement falls under AMC/AMSC classification "3 D," indicating the item must be procured from the actual manufacturer and lacks competitive data availability due to technical specifications that cannot be economically obtained or adequately described for competitive solicitation. Companies interested in demonstrating their manufacturing capabilities must respond to Contract Specialist John McCarthy at John.mccarthy@dla.mil by August 19, 2025. The agency has determined that based on all available information, no other source can currently provide this specialized battery item.
This procurement operates under a no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC serves as the current incumbent contractor for this thermal battery requirement. Companies seeking to become approved sources must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through DLA Land and Maritime's Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, demonstrating their ability to manufacture products equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. The SAR application process requires contractors to provide extensive technical documentation proving their manufacturing competency and quality standards. No specific award values, quantities, or service timelines are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the primary objective is to identify additional qualified sources rather than announce a specific procurement action.
