AI Contract Overview

The contract pertains to the procurement of a thermal battery identified by NSN 6135-016191582, classified under NAICS code 335910 and titled “BATTERY, THERMAL.” The sole approved source for this item is CHEMRING ENERGETIC DEVICES INC, with the government currently unable to solicit competition due to the absence of physically available or economically obtainable technical data necessary to draft viable specifications. The AMC “3” designation confirms that current procurement is limited to the original manufacturer or a prime contractor acting as the manufacturer, while the AMSC “D” designation reflects that reverse engineering is not economically feasible and no alternative sources exist capable of meeting the required performance standards. This restriction is based on the determination that Stratus Systems is the exclusive provider of this component, and no other entity has demonstrated the capability to replicate the product at an equivalent or superior quality level. The government is actively soliciting information from potential manufacturers who may qualify as alternate sources by submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program. Prospective contractors must comprehensive technical documentation proving their product matches or exceeds the OEM’s specifications in performance, reliability, and quality.
