Please review the NSN listed above and provide any sources that may be able to manufacture these items. The approved sources for this NSN are currently listed above.

Should a company wish to be reviewed and qualified as an “Approved Source”, they may submit an application package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. A SAR package contains all technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item which DLA Land and Maritime is procuring.
For further information, please reference the DLA Land Maritime web page shown below and click on the highlight: Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program for detailed explanation for the information and format necessary for a SAR and for the SAR approval process.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued this sources sought notice, solicitation number 7014781262, to identify potential manufacturers for thermal batteries identified by NSN 6135-016191582. This requirement is classified under NAICS 335910 for Battery Manufacturing and PSC 6135 for Batteries, Nonrechargeable. The item is currently procured under an acquisition method code of 3D, which indicates that while the government procures the parts from the actual manufacturer, the technical data required for competitive acquisition is not physically available or economically feasible to obtain.
The government currently recognizes Chemring Energetic Devices Inc (93455) as an approved source, and existing documentation indicates that Stratus Systems is the only company currently able to provide these parts because reverse engineering is not economically viable. The agency is conducting this market research to determine if other sources possess the capability to manufacture these items. All relevant information must be submitted to Contract Specialist John McCarthy by the response deadline of June 6, 2026.
Prospective contractors who are not currently approved sources may apply for qualification through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. A SAR package must include comprehensive technical data demonstrating the firm’s ability to manufacture the product to the same or better quality standards than the original equipment manufacturer. The burden of proof rests with the applicant to document that their product meets all requirements for the currently approved item.
