Request for Information (RFI) for Supplying Rail Equipment Batteries

This is a request for information to determine what sources exist which are capable of satisfying the Government's requirements as described in the attached document and any considerations the government might consider before procuring this requirement. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this notice is to obtain information, for planning purposes, regarding (1) the availability and capability of qualified sources to provide three (3) rail equipment batteries as described; and (2) the size classification of the available and capable sources relative to the North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code 335910 or alternate proposed NAICS for the potential acquisition. This notice does not solicit proposals. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract. Additionally, the U.S. Government will not provide reimbursement for any information that may be submitted in response to this RFI/market research. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses incurred from responding to this RFI/market research. Responding will neither increase nor decrease an information provider's likelihood of being awarded any contract in the future for the requisite supplies. The acquisition strategy for the procurement has not been determined at this time; however, either an unrestricted competition or a set-aside may be chosen depending on the responses to this market survey. Responses should not only state a vendor is capable, but also include make, model, and any associated specifications demonstrating the offered equipment will meet the Government’s need. Interested persons should provide the requested information to Melissa Reams via e-mail at [email protected], by March 2, 2026.
