Thermal Batteries

The Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, CA has awarded a contract on an other than full and open competition basis for AIM-9X Thermal Batteries. This contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract consisting of Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) CLINs derived from Solicitation number: N68936-16-R-0003.

NAVAIR intends to award a sole source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with a five year ordering period based on FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source, to EaglePicher Technologies, LLC for a minimum quantity of 50 and maximum quantity of 500 thermal batteries that meet the requirements listed below.

Key requirements are, but not limited to, the following bullet points:

• Size = 2 in diameter X 2.25 in Length
• Voltage Output = 25VDC to 32 VDC; Load = 3.25A base load with periodic additional 2.00A pulses; Rise Time = 0.330 sec max over all environments; Life = 67.5 seconds.
• Maintenance = None over life of battery.
• Weight = Max 1.0 lbs.
• Temperature Range =operating -65F to +185F.
• Operating Acceleration Environments = in accordance with specification AMX6099.
• Non-operating Acceleration Environments = in accordance with specification AMX6099.
• Activation Squib EP-250-1.
• Materials (Case and Headers) = Type 304 Stainless Steel. Material (Terminals) = 52 Fe/Ni alloy hot solder dipped.
• Safety = in accordance with MIL-STD-1385, S9310-AQ-SAF-010 and applicable electronic safety requirement of MIL-STD-454 requirement 1.

Thermal Battery must pass application specific use reviewed by Government NAWCWD battery subject matter experts, NAWCWD System Safety, and the non-nuclear munitions safety board (NNMSB), as well as system level environmental qualification testing.

Since the thermal battery is a critical subcomponent of an AN/DKT-89 telemeter, the thermal battery must be a form, fit, and function drop-in replacement for the current battery supplied by EaglePicher (Part Number EAP-12258A) as detailed in source control drawing 639AS11129.

All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency, no later than 16 December, 2015. Proposals will be emailed to Chris Bigelow at christopher.bigelow@navy.mil.

All responsible sources must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at the following website: https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/.
