About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime anticipates soliciting thermal batteries under NSN 6135-016191582, with a response deadline of June 6, 2026 for sources-sought input.
This procurement is designated for sole-source award to CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC (CAGE 93455). DLA has determined that adequate specifications cannot be drafted for competitive procurement, reverse engineering is not economically feasible, and no other source currently possesses the capability to provide these items at the required quality level.
DLA is soliciting alternative sources through this pre-solicitation notice. Interested contractors may submit information identifying additional manufacturers by the June 6 deadline. Contractors seeking approval as an alternate source may apply through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. A SAR package must include all technical data demonstrating that the prospective contractor can manufacture the product to equal or superior quality compared to the currently approved OEM. The burden of proof rests with the applicant to document equivalence or improvement versus the approved item.
Contact Contract Specialist John McCarthy at john.mccarthy@dla.mil with source nominations or inquiries.
