The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers of nonrechargeable batteries, specifically NSN 6135-01-507-1135. This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from industry sources regarding their capability to manufacture this battery component, with submissions due by May 1, 2026. The primary objective is to establish the industrial base and competitive landscape prior to issuing a formal solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) or Long-Term Contract (LTC). Interested parties and industry representatives must submit detailed source information, including company identification, manufacturing capabilities, CAGE codes, NAICS codes, and contact information for actual manufacturers and their locations. All responses should be directed to Mr. Daniel Howser at Daniel.Howser@dla.mil or 614-693-3072, with a requirement to respond within five business days of receipt of the market research questionnaire.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The estimated annual demand for this battery component is 20,112 units, which will inform the anticipated contract volume and pricing structure. The planned Long-Term Contract will include a three-year base period with option years available for extension. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as this is a market research phase intended to gather competitive information and supplier capability data before formal solicitation. The questionnaire requests input on quantity price breaks, minimum delivery order quantities, and commercial item status to support DLA's acquisition strategy development for this battery requirement.
