NAICS 335910: Battery Manufacturing

NAICS 335910 – Battery Manufacturing encompasses the design, development, and production of electrochemical cells and battery systems for a variety of government applications, including portable power units, energy storage systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and specialized power sources for defense, aerospace, and telecommunications infrastructure. This sector supports critical missions requiring high-reliability, long-cycle-life, and temperature-stable energy solutions, such as lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, and solid-state battery technologies. In government contracting, battery manufacturing is a foundational enabler for modernized logistics, unmanned systems, field-deployable electronics, and grid resilience initiatives, positioning it as a strategic component of national security and infrastructure modernization efforts. Top contractors in this sector include BAM INNOVATIONS LLC and EVERSTONE INDUSTRIES LLC, both of which are small businesses specializing in custom battery pack engineering, thermal management integration, and compliance with MIL-STD and DOE performance standards. These firms often serve as niche suppliers to prime contractors, focusing on rapid prototyping, ruggedized designs, and rapid qualification for military and federal use cases. The Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense are the primary federal buyers, with demand driven by programs in autonomous vehicle platforms, soldier-worn electronics, satellite power systems, and emergency response equipment. The DoD’s emphasis on energy independence and forward-deployed logistics creates sustained procurement cycles, while Commerce supports innovation through grants and partnerships with advanced manufacturing initiatives. The competitive landscape is characterized by a concentration of specialized small businesses leveraging agile manufacturing and rapid certification pathways, with limited large prime involvement. Opportunities are growing in next-generation chemistries, modular battery architectures, and supply chain resilience efforts. Contractors with expertise in hazardous material handling, UL certification, and DoD qualification processes are well-positioned to capture sustained demand across mission-critical applications.
