Eaglepicher Technologies LLC

Eaglepicher Technologies LLC is a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of advanced battery systems, power solutions, and specialized electronic components headquartered in Joplin, Missouri. Since its registration with the System for Award Management in December 2007, the company has established itself as a critical supplier within the U.S. Department of Defense industrial base. Eaglepicher specializes in the design, development, qualification, and production of thermal batteries, lithium batteries, silver-oxide zinc batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and related power management equipment for military platforms including aircraft, missiles, and defense systems. The company serves as both a prime contractor directly to federal agencies and as a critical subcontractor to major defense contractors including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman.

Eaglepicher Technologies has received extensive federal contract awards spanning multiple defense and civilian agencies. The company's prime contract portfolio includes numerous firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts valued at hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of dollars from the Defense Logistics Agency, Naval Supply Systems Command, Naval Sea Systems Command, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Sustainment Center, Naval Air Warfare Center, and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command. Specific deliverables have encompassed electrical load banks, battery cable assemblies, nonrechargeable batteries, thermal batteries, storage batteries, nickel-cadmium cells, electronic modules, circuit card assemblies, connectors, and specialized power supply equipment. The company has received awards for both discrete supply requirements and complex development efforts, such as a $19.98 million definitive contract from the Air Force for development, qualification, and production of squib-activated ICBM Missile Guidance Set SE-437C Silver Zinc batteries, a $9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory for sub-zero lithium-ion battery technology development for space systems, and a $7.08 million delivery order from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command for squib-activated batteries supporting the HAWK Improved program. Additionally, Eaglepicher has received substantial contract awards from civilian agencies including NASA's Shared Services Center for battery test and evaluation services in support of the RangeHawk Global Hawk program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for battery evaluation and repair services. No small business set-aside designations have been applied to Eaglepicher's awards, reflecting its competitive positioning as an established defense contractor. As a subcontractor, Eaglepicher has been engaged by major prime contractors to supply lithium batteries, thermal batteries, battery cells, battery assemblies, actuators, and specialized ordnance components in support of strategic weapons systems, aircraft propulsion programs, and missile guidance systems.

Eaglepicher Technologies has participated in federal grant programs as a subcontractor, demonstrating its role in advancing battery technology innovation. The company received a federal grant sub-award dated February 1, 2022, for a research and development project focused on developing advanced battery material manufacturing technology using an integrated flame spray process. The project scope encompasses three budget periods aimed at developing chemical precursors of deep eutectic solvents for nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA) battery materials, flame spray nozzle design and construction, integrated process development for surface coating and materials processing, prototype high-energy battery cell development, and ultimately the development of a pilot production line for active battery material manufacturing. This grant work represents Eaglepicher's involvement in cutting-edge research to enhance battery performance and manufacturing capabilities, positioning the company at the forefront of energy storage technology innovation for potential defense and commercial applications.

Eaglepicher Technologies holds three primary Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts providing sustained access to the federal marketplace. The company was awarded a $30 million single-award IDIQ from the Air Force Materiel Command with an ultimate completion date of September 28, 2028, focused on the qualification and production of MK12A lithium batteries for aviation and defense systems. A $3 million single-award IDIQ was awarded by the Air Force Sustainment Center through September 2024 for the purchase of B-2 storage batteries, under which multiple delivery orders have been issued, including orders valued at $980,109, $2,337,183, and $3,997,587 respectively. The company also holds a $2.795 million single-award firm fixed-price IDIQ awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Wing for the provision of lithium storage batteries for use in the Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle program, with a delivery order valued at $2.683 million having been issued. These IDIQs demonstrate Eaglepicher's established relationships with key Air Force commands and logistics agencies, allowing the company to respond to recurring and emerging battery supply requirements across multiple defense platforms and missions through task order activity throughout the contract performance periods.
