AI Contract Overview
The battery, storage item identified by NSN 6140-015301991 is currently procured exclusively from EaglePicher Technologies LLC, the only approved source, with no alternate suppliers currently qualified. The Acquisition Management Code (AMC) 3 indicates that the item must be sourced directly from the original manufacturer or a prime contractor who is the actual manufacturer, and the Acquisition Management Supplemental Code (AMSC) D confirms that the technical data required to develop a competitive specification is not available, not economically obtainable, and cannot be adequately described for a competitive solicitation. This results in a sole-source procurement environment where competition is restricted due to the inability to define equivalent standards. Interested parties seeking approval as an alternate source must submit a complete Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer Program, demonstrating their product meets or exceeds the quality, performance, and reliability of the current approved item. The solicitation is open until May 22, 2026, and any submissions must be directed to Danielle Jilton at the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio, with full technical documentation required to support qualification.
