Lithium-Polymer Battery Storage Cabinet

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA SSC) is soliciting quotes for a Denios Lithium-Polymer Battery Storage Cabinet through a competitive procurement with tracking number 80NSSC25900981Q. This brand name requirement seeks a specialized safety cabinet designed for storing and charging lithium-ion batteries, with specific technical specifications including 90-minute fire resistance, four shelves capable of supporting 165 pounds each, and 20 power sockets. The solicitation is structured as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement, meaning the government will select the most cost-effective quote that meets all technical requirements. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and submit their quotes via email to Shanna Patterson by May 12, 2025, at 7 a.m. CT. Authorized resellers must reference the specific tracking number in their email subject line and provide two points of contact with their submission.

The contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and will be performed in Hampton, Virginia. The Denios asecos lithium-ion charging cabinet features critical safety elements including thermal fire suppression, a smoke detector with external alarm contact, self-closing lockable doors, and a liquid-tight spill sump. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be for a single unit with an estimated delivery time of 4 weeks after receipt of order. The cabinet is designed to accommodate battery units and chargers covering 60% of the grid-shelf space, with a maximum individual battery weight limit of 33 pounds. NASA's market research indicates this specific cabinet meets unique safety compliance standards, including DIN EN 14470-1 and DIN EN 1363-1, making it a targeted procurement with precise technical requirements.
