Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has issued a Sources Sought notice to identify additional manufacturers for BATTERY, STORAGE (NSN: 6140-015301991). Currently, EAGLEPICHER TECHNOLOGIES LLC is the approved source. This market research aims to expand the supplier base for this critical item. Responses are due by May 22, 2026.
Purpose
This notice is for market research purposes, specifically seeking potential sources capable of manufacturing the specified battery. The item's Acquisition Method Code (AMC) is "3" (procured from actual manufacturer or vendor), and the Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) is "D," indicating that data for competitive acquisition is not readily available, nor is it economically feasible to obtain or describe adequately for a competitive solicitation. DLA Land and Maritime is requesting information from companies that may be able to manufacture these items to potentially increase competition.

Companies interested in being reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" must submit an application package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. A SAR package requires technical data demonstrating the prospective contractor's ability to manufacture the product to the same or higher quality standard as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
