Rechargeable Battery and Charging Station Supply

The contract seeks the supply of ruggedized, long-duration rechargeable batteries and compatible charging stations designed specifically for man-portable counter-small unmanned aircraft systems. These components must meet stringent military environmental and safety standards to ensure reliable operation under extreme conditions, including temperature fluctuations, moisture, dust, and shock exposure. The batteries are intended to support sustained mission durations for field-deployed personnel, while the charging stations must facilitate efficient, secure, and field-adaptable power restoration in austere environments. All delivered hardware must be fully compliant with defense-grade specifications for durability, interoperability, and electromagnetic integrity. Performance of this contract is tied to RAF Mildenhall, with delivery and support expected to align with operational timelines of U.S. Department of Defense units stationed there. The solicitation, classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 335911 for battery manufacturing, has a response deadline of July 28, 2026, and is open to qualified vendors capable of meeting military-grade performance benchmarks without exception. No set-aside provisions are specified, and the contracting office is administratively managed under FA5587 48 Cons, indicating a non-competitive or internally coordinated procurement pathway. Bidders must demonstrate proven experience in producing military-grade power systems and be prepared to furnish detailed documentation of testing, compliance, and quality control processes.
