About this opportunity

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum seeks 48-volt forklift batteries, model 24-85-15, with proposals due July 8, 2026. This is a Total Small Business set-aside.

Place of performance is 1729 S Main Street, Tooele, Utah 84074. The battery must be fully compatible with Hyster E40XN electric forklift specifications and manufactured in the United States. The NAICS code is 335910, Battery Manufacturing; the PSC is 6160, Miscellaneous Battery Retaining Fixtures, Liners and Ancillary Items.

Electrical performance specifications are mandatory: 48V system voltage, 24 LEAD-acid cells at 2V per cell, and 15 plates per cell. Rated capacity must be 590–610 ampere-hours at the 6-hour rate. The battery must achieve a minimum cycle life yield of 1,500 cycles at 80 percent depth of discharge and remain compatible with standard 48V industrial chargers. All performance metrics must meet or exceed OEM standards for voltage, capacity, and physical dimensions and support full shift operation under normal warehouse conditions.

Dimensional tolerances are specified: tray length 34.50–35.50 inches, tray width 26.50–27.25 inches, tray height without cover 22.00–22.75 inches, and total height clearance not to exceed 23.50 inches. Weight must be 1,850–2,500 pounds, with a target service range of 2,300–2,400 pounds. Connector type must be SB350 Blue, with cable length 25.0–30.0 inches and cable routing in Position B or Position X layout. The battery must include a factory-installed single-point watering system.
