Battery Outlet, Inc.

Battery Outlet, Inc., a small business manufacturer based in Chesapeake, Virginia, supplies rechargeable and nonrechargeable battery storage products to the Defense Logistics Agency and federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides. The company operates as a single-award catalog supplier with no subcontractor engagement, performing all work directly at its Chesapeake facility and a subordinate Portsmouth location.

Battery Outlet's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, which accounts for 99 percent of the vendor's 3,609 prime awards and 90 percent of combined potential value across the past several years. The company manufactures storage batteries (NAICS 335910) and primary batteries under PSC codes for Batteries, Rechargeable (3,561 awards) and Batteries, Nonrechargeable (32 awards), supplying items identified by National Stock Numbers to support Department of Defense logistics and equipment operations. Representative delivery orders and purchase orders under the vendor's single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (SPE7L018D5013, ceiling $250,000, awarded May 8, 2025, running through May 8, 2028) include a $36,652 order for 97 units of storage batteries (NSN 6140016127521) awarded June 15, 2026, a $31,257 order for 108 units of storage batteries (NSN 6140014874130) awarded June 18, 2026, and a $7,290 delivery order for battery storage products awarded April 13, 2026. DLA Land and Maritime also issued a $2,299.50 purchase order through Naval Sea Systems Command on April 10, 2026, for US-125 6V 242AH 154 MIN RESERVE golf cart batteries. Beyond DLA Land and Maritime, activity with DLA Aviation (30 awards, $440 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (8 awards, $372 thousand combined potential value), and DLA Distribution (1 award, $250 thousand combined potential value) represents the remaining 1 percent of the vendor's portfolio.

The vendor places work through five primary Indefinite Delivery Contracts: SPE7L018D5013 (426 task orders, $83 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L018D5006 (378 task orders, $33 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L121D5123 (244 task orders, $22 thousand combined potential value), SPE7L425D5002 (238 task orders, $44 thousand combined potential value), and SPE7L019D5000 (179 task orders, $67 thousand combined potential value). Activity has been volatile year over year, with 188 awards in 2022, 242 in 2023, declining to 97 in 2024, then surging to 416 in 2025 and 387 in 2026 through July. Combined potential value stands at $13.9 million, with $9.4 million obligated to date (68 percent realization rate). Battery Outlet holds a small business designation and competes exclusively under Total Small Business set-asides on its larger catalog supply vehicles with DLA, though some purchase orders carry no set-aside designation. The vendor has held DLA contracts continuously since 2001.
