BATTERY, STORAGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Quantity Contract to STRYTEN ENERGY LLC under contract number SPE7LX26D0001, with a base period of three years and a one-year optional extension. The contract, issued as a commercial item acquisition under an RFQ/IFB process, supports the supply of hazardous material storage batteries identified by NSN 6140014469506, with a stated minimum order value of $23,391.69 and a maximum life-of-contract value of $11,695,842.90. The sole documented line item reflects a purchase of two units at $168.50 each, totaling $337.00, with delivery required within 140 days of each order placement under FOB Destination terms to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. Performance obligations are governed by multiple attachments including Pricing & Delivery, PID Packaging & Marking, SDS & HWL, and the Subcontractor Plan, all of which define technical, logistical, and compliance requirements. Packaging and labeling must adhere to specifications in Attachment D, with bar-coding and military standard compliance implied but not explicitly stated in the public records. Contract administration is managed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, with invoicing directives directing payments to a designated PO box and a named local administrator for post-award support. The contract includes several mandatory Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement clauses, specifically those governing cybersecurity incident reporting, accelerated payments to small business subcontractors, and the use of U.S.-flag vessels for ocean transport—requiring contractors to verify vessel use on final invoices and obtain prior waivers if foreign-flag vessels are used. The contractor, identified as a small business eligible under multiple socioeconomic categories including HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Business, is subject to representations and certifications incorporated by reference, though completed certification documents are not publicly accessible. The contracting officer’s representative and specific technical requirements are not fully disclosed, and while the evaluation methodology does not appear formally documented, the structure and pricing focus suggest an LPTA-based award rationale. All documentation is submitted in PDF format, with no indication of electronic submission portals, and contractual compliance hinges on adherence to attachments not provided in the public notice.
