BATTERY, STORAGE

Solicitation SPE7L7-26-Q-2461 is a firm-fixed-price request for quotations issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for the procurement of two Lead Acid AGM storage batteries, identified by NSN 6140-01-562-8422. The batteries are designated as critical application items with a non-extendable Type I shelf life of 12 months. Delivery is required within 60 days after order, with specific required delivery dates set for September 11 and September 18, 2026, for the two units. The items are destined for the USS Winston S Churchill DDG 81 and the USS Cooperstown LCS 23. The contract mandates strict adherence to quality and safety standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging, MIL-STD-129 for marking, and RP001 for palletization. Because the items are hazardous materials, suppliers must provide Safety Data Sheets and labels compliant with 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200. Special requirements include the use of die-cut holes for batteries exceeding 75 pounds and specific marking for non-spillable batteries per 49 CFR § 173.159. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the origin, with DCMA limiting inspection to kind, count, and condition. Award will be based on the best value to the government, evaluating price, delivery, and past performance.
