Implantable Medical-Grade Primary Lithium Batteries
The government seeks twenty new, unused implantable medical-grade primary lithium batteries of Li/SVO-CFx chemistry, in two configurations of ten units each, with no manufacturer, brand, model, or part number specified as long as all salient characteristics are met. Item 1 high-rate configuration requires 1.70–1.90 Ah capacity, 3.15–3.40 V OCV-BOL, pulse discharge capability, stainless steel case, negative case polarity, hermetic sealing, specified weight/volume/dimensions, same manufacturing lot, and –20°C to +60°C storage. Item 2 medium-rate configuration requires 4.80–5.00 Ah capacity, 3.15–3.40 V OCV-BOL, medium-rate sustained discharge with pulsing, titanium case, negative case polarity, hermetic sealing, specified weight/volume/dimensions, same manufacturing lot, 37°C nominal operating temperature, and –20°C to +60°C storage. Each battery must have at least two years remaining from the date of manufacture at delivery, and product documentation including specifications, SDS, and applicable documentation must be provided at no separate charge. Packaging must follow standard commercial practice and applicable lithium medical-grade safety/transport rules including DOT and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, with lot number and manufacture date marked on each package, advance shipping notification, delivery logistics coordinated with the Government POC before shipment, and acceptance of the contractor’s standard commercial warranty to the maximum extent practicable.
