AI Contract Overview
The contract specifies the procurement of 1,381 units of a 12.6V 4.8AH lithium-ion storage battery with a non-extendable Type I shelf life of 36 months, designated by NSN 6140-01-665-0882 and manufacturer part number 1600842-2 from Thales Defense & Security Inc. The battery is classified as non-spillable per 49 CFR §173.159(f) and §173.159a(d)(1), exempting it from full hazardous materials shipping regulations provided terminals are protected against short circuit, securely packed in strong outer packaging, and clearly marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY.” The equivalent lithium content is calculated at 0.3 times the ampere-hour rating per cell multiplied by the number of cells, ensuring it remains under the 8-gram threshold that qualifies it for exceptions under ADR/RID, IMDG, and IATA-DGR transport regulations. Packaging must adhere strictly to MIL-STD-2073-1E for preservation and MIL-STD-129 for marking, including special marking code 32 to denote Type I shelf life, with palletization following DLA Packaging Requirements RP001. The item is commercial off-the-shelf with adequate catalog data available, and mercury or mercury-containing compounds are prohibited except for functional use in batteries, with portable fluorescent lamps or instruments requiring shock-proof design and a secondary containment boundary. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with sampling conducted per MIL-STD-1916 or ASQ H1331 using a zero-defect acceptance criterion unless otherwise specified, and critical, major, and minor attributes assigned verification levels VII, IV, and II with corresponding AQLs of 0.1, 1.0, and 4.0. Delivery is due 175 days after award to the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland Facility in Pennsylvania under FOB Destination terms with firm fixed pricing and no variance allowed. The contract mandates compliance with all applicable federal regulations including the Hazardous Communication Standard, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act, and requirements for accurate Unique Entity Identifier and CAGE code submission. Invoicing must occur exclusively through WAWF, and no alternate delivery methods, production facility changes, or foreign-flag vessel use are permitted without prior written approval. The

12.6V 4.8AH LITHIUM ION SHELF LIFE: TYPE I, 36 MONTHS
RP001: DLA PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROCUREMENT
A. Lithium Considerations
The transportation of Lithium-ion (and any other rechargeable lithium chemistries) packs with up to 8 grams of equivalent lithium content, as described in this document, is not regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation or the major international regulatory bodies. Equivalent lithium content for lithium ion and lithium polymer cells and batteries in grams on a per cell basis is calculated as 0.3 times the rated capacity in ampere-hours. The equivalent lithium content for a battery or battery pack is the rated capacity in ampere-hours for a single cell multiplied by 0.3 and then multiplied by the number of cells in the battery.
B. Quantity Considerations on Transportation Method Land Transport (ADR/RID) # The product fulfills the requirements of Special Provision 188 of ADR/RID and is therefore, keeping within the prescribed quantity limits, excepted from the application of the Dangerous Goods regulations. Sea Transport (IMDG) The product fulfills the requirements of Special Provision 188 of IMDG-Code and is therefore, keeping within the prescribed quantity limits, excepted from the application of the Dangerous Goods regulations. Air Transport (IATA) The product fulfills the requirements of Special Provision A45 of IATA-DGR and is therefore, keeping within the prescribed quantity limits, exempted from the application of the Dangerous Goods regulations. "Per U.S.DOT:
C. Non-Spillable Battery Considerations
If battery meets non-spillable criteria listed in 49 CFR § 173.159(f) and 173.159a(d)(1). Non-spillable batteries are exempted from 49 CFR Subchapter C requirements, provided the following criteria are met:
1. The batteries must be securely packed in strong outer packaging and meet the requirements of 49 CFR § 173.159a.
2. The batteries' terminals must be protected against short circuit.
3. Each battery and their outer packaging must be plainly and durably marked ""NONSPILLABLE"" or ""NONSPILLABLE BATTERY"".
The exception from 49 CFR, Subchapter C means shipping papers need not show proper shipping name, hazard class, UN number, and packing group and hazardous labels are not required when transporting a nonspillable battery."
