About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Drum is seeking to procure a zero-emission battery powered 400Hz Ground Power Unit (E-GPU) designed for aircraft ground support operations. This specialized equipment must be capable of operating in remote aircraft positions and hangars where fixed 400Hz infrastructure is unavailable, utilizing proven iBS Lithium-Ion battery technology with each battery pack providing 22kWh capacity. The unit must offer different battery capacity options to accommodate varying autonomy requirements and turnaround times, while maintaining the ability to recharge from standard 3-phase 50/60Hz power supplies and provide continuous power to aircraft during the recharging process. The solicitation is classified under NAICS code 335311 for Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing and PSC code 1730 for Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment. Interested parties must submit their proposals by July 31, 2025, providing only one week from the posting date of July 24, 2025, for response preparation.
This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities. The place of performance is specified as 1200 Barnes Blvd, McChord AFB, Washington 98438, indicating the equipment will be deployed at this military installation. The solicitation emphasizes the sustainable aspect of the equipment, noting that the iBS battery packs can be repurposed for second-life applications in other Ground Support Equipment (GSE), supporting environmental and cost-effectiveness objectives. While specific award values and quantities are not disclosed in the notice, the technical specifications suggest this is for specialized military aviation support equipment that must meet stringent operational requirements for remote and hangar-based aircraft servicing. The rapid turnaround timeframe between posting and due date indicates this may be an urgent operational requirement for the military installation.
