About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) is seeking to procure the development of a next-generation Platoon Bulk Charger (PBC), a single ruggedized unit with modular adaptors capable of charging multiple military battery types including BB-2525 (Conformal Wearable Battery), BB-2590, AN/PRC-148/163 radio batteries, and Small Tactical Universal Batteries (STUB) in severe tactical environments. The procurement is being conducted on behalf of Product Manager Soldier Maneuver Sensors (PdM SMS) under solicitation number W91CRB-25-R-0022. The charger must operate in extreme weather conditions including rain, extreme temperatures, and high humidity while providing charging capabilities for batteries ranging from 5-33.6V and completing charging cycles within 2-3 hours. Key requirements include the unit weighing under 35 pounds, being stackable, featuring USB-C Power Delivery ports, and meeting stringent electromagnetic interference standards. The tentative Request for Proposal (RFP) release is scheduled for June FY25, with proposals due by June 12, 2025, and an anticipated award date at the end of the 4th quarter FY25.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no current incumbents or contractors are identified in the pre-solicitation notice. The Army plans to award up to two Prototype Other Transaction Agreements (OTA) under 10 USC 4022(a) with the potential for a follow-on production OTA utilizing a Firm Fixed Price Contract Line Item Number (FFP CLIN) structure. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement involves the development and production of prototype chargers that must undergo Prototype Qualification Tests (PQT) across six specific test requirements. The timeline includes prototype development, testing phases, and potential Government Integration Testing support. The technical specifications require the charger to support multiple input power sources (AC/DC), include digital displays showing battery charge status and health, and maintain compatibility with military communication protocols like SMBus and Direct Query.
