Summary

AI-generated · Apr 04, 2026

Storage battery part NSN 6140-01-400-2901 is being opened to identify additional manufacturers beyond the currently approved source, ACME Aerospace, Inc. (P/N 172BS112-1). The data required to acquire this part competitively is not physically available and cannot be adequately described for a competitive solicitation, so the government is seeking other capable sources that can manufacture this item.

If a company wants to become an approved source, they may pursue the Alternate Offer/Source Approval (SAR) process. A SAR package must demonstrate, with necessary technical data, the ability to manufacture the product to the same or better quality as the OEM. The burden to prove equivalence or superiority rests with the contractor. Detailed instructions and requirements for the SAR process are available on the DLA Land and Maritime website.
