99 -- NON-AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY PURCHASE, MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL SOL 483083-99-A-G045 DUE 020399 POC John Shafer, Purchasing Specialist 214/819-7120, Gene Eubanks 214/819-7122 E-MAIL: John Shafer is the contracting officer, jshafer@email.usps.gov or geubank1@email.usps.gov. The USPS Dallas Purchasing & Materials Service Center is seeking information from interested parties on a battery management program whereby various non-automotive batteries could be purchased, maintained, and properly disposed of after their useful life is exhausted. Battery applications would consist of those used in 2-way radios, wireless telephones, laptop computers, and camcorders. This is only a sources sought request at this time -- no contract award is anticipated, and no money will be spent at this time. This is an effort to locate sources capable of nationwide management of those batteries in the above categories, used by the postal service. We seek volume purchase discounts, and seek those companies able to demonstrate the postal service's ommitment to protecting the environment and setting the proper example as a responsible member of corporate America, as well as the federal government.
