Battery Outlet, Inc.

Battery Outlet, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Chesapeake, Virginia, supplies rechargeable and nonrechargeable battery storage products to the Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on purchase orders and delivery orders under Total Small Business set-asides. The vendor operates across storage battery manufacturing (NAICS 335910) and battery manufacturing categories, competing predominantly under small business set-asides rather than full-and-open procurements.

The vendor's federal footprint is highly concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 3,330 of 3,444 total awards and $12.3 million of the $13.7 million combined potential value — 99 percent of award volume and 90 percent of dollars. DLA Aviation adds 30 awards ($440 thousand), and the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard contributes 8 awards ($372 thousand); all other customers together represent less than 1 percent of potential value. This concentration reflects Battery Outlet's core role as a catalog battery supplier for military logistics and equipment operations. Representative work includes a $50,166.68 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime awarded March 2, 2026, for 2,852 units of storage batteries under Total Small Business set-aside; a $24,788.38 purchase order from the same agency on March 26, 2026, also under Total Small Business set-aside; a $12,950 order from DLA Land and Maritime on February 27, 2026; and a $3,199.52 purchase order from Department of Defense Aviation for sealed batteries (NSN 6511940149) on March 11, 2026.

Battery Outlet holds positions on multiple single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime. The largest vehicle is IDC SPE7L018D5013, which carries 426 task orders totaling $83 thousand in combined potential value. IDC SPE7L018D5006 carries 378 task orders ($33 thousand), IDC SPE7L121D5123 carries 244 task orders ($22 thousand), IDC SPE7L425D5002 carries 185 task orders ($36 thousand), and IDC SPE7L019D5000 carries 179 task orders ($67 thousand). In May 2025, DLA Land and Maritime awarded Battery Outlet a new single-award IDC valued at $250,000 with an ultimate completion date of May 8, 2028, under Total Small Business set-aside for battery storage products identified by National Stock Numbers. Work is performed at the vendor's facility in Chesapeake, Virginia, with no subcontractor engagement documented.

Activity volume expanded significantly in 2025 (411 awards, up from 97 in 2024) and continues into 2026 (227 awards as of April 15). The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal — only one award worth $898 reaches completion inside that window, indicating stable vehicle positions and low near-term recompete exposure. Battery Outlet's procurement posture is exclusively small business set-aside; the vendor does not compete in full-and-open category buys. The vendor has been registered as a federal contractor since September 2001 and operates all work directly without documented subcontractors.
