- Description
- The United States Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command intends to solicit a proposal for research and development services in the area of improved grids for lead-acid batteries. These vehicle battery grids will extend battery life, especially for batteries used in deep cycle applications by preventing corrosion of the battery grids when operated under extreme conditions required by the military. The Army's vision is to greatly reduce costs by reducing the frequency of replacing batteries in ve hicles, such as the HMMWV and other types of equipment, such as communications equipment, generators, and other support-type equipment. It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded to Firefly Energy, Inc. of Peoria, IL without competition. The contract may have follow-on opportunities. A cost reimbursement contract is anticipated. The estimated release date of the solicitation is 2 2 July 2005, closing on 29 August 2005.
