AI Contract Overview

The Marine Corps Systems Command based in Quantico, Virginia, is seeking to acquire expeditionary power sources as alternatives to the BA5590 lithium battery, focusing on options that provide higher energy output while reducing carrying weight. In February 2005, a Request for Information was issued to identify suitable small format, non-hazardous Magnesium-Air-Water battery technologies. The findings indicated that no domestic non-developmental battery systems currently meet the Marine Corps' requirements, although certain foreign battery systems do show potential. As a result, the Marine Corps plans to conduct a Foreign Comparative Test (FCT) to evaluate these foreign technologies. To support this initiative, the Marine Corps intends to procure approximately $100,000 worth of battery systems from two foreign providers: MAG Power Systems, Inc. from Vancouver, British Columbia, and MEET Co., LTD from Korea. These systems will be tested in operational conditions to assess their suitability for Marine Corps applications. This procurement effort aims to identify viable, ready-to-use battery solutions that enhance mission capabilities by offering greater energy capacity with less weight. The primary point of contact for this project is Captain Juan Arratia.

Full Description

The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico Virginia, has a need for a Non-Developmental, expeditionary power sources to supplement the BA5590 lithium battery with alternatives that provides greater energy at a lower carrying weight. A Request For Information (RFI) was released on 9 February 2005 seeking small format, non-hazardous, Magnesium-Air-Water batteries. The results of the RFI revealed that a domestic capability to meet the United States Marine Corps' needs using a non-developmental battery system does not exist. However, the results of the Capability Assessment did indicate foreign battery systems could meet the requirements. The Marine Corps Systems Command, Quantico Virginia intends to procure approximately $100,000.00 worth of battery systems as part of a Foreign Comparative Test (FCT), with each of the following two companies: MAG Power Systems, Inc. Vancouver and B.C. MEET Co., LTD (Korea). This effort will procure systems to test in an operational environment from each vendor to enable a Foreign Comparative Test (FCT) to be conducted. The points of contact for this effort is Captain Juan Arratia at contact@example.gov.
