AI Contract Overview
This contract is for the procurement of 1,381 units of a 12.6V, 4.8AH lithium-ion storage battery with a Type I shelf life of 36 months. The batteries must comply with various technical, packaging, and transportation requirements, including DLA packaging standards (RP001) and MIL-STD specifications for marking, sampling, and preservation. The battery packaging and handling instructions emphasize compliance with hazardous material shipping regulations, noting that these lithium-ion batteries qualify for exemptions under specific transportation provisions such as ADR/RID, IMDG, and IATA, given their lithium content and non-spillable criteria. The contract stipulates firm fixed pricing with zero variance in quantity acceptance, delivery within 175 days after order, and inspection and acceptance at destination. Special attention is given to safety and regulatory compliance, including non-spillable battery labeling, protection against short circuits, and prohibitions on mercury contamination except under specified exceptions. The batteries are designated as critical application items supplied by Thales Defense & Security Inc., and deliveries are to be made to the DLA Distribution DDSP New Cumberland Facility. All applicable technical and quality requirements are referenced as per the DLA Master List, and coordination is managed through the Department of Defense’s procurement system.

Full Description
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."
