The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) signed a contract with SAFT for batteries. See the press release here. While SAFT is a French company the batteries will be made in NC at their plant. The contract is for up to 5 years and could be worth $170 M. With the amount of electronics proliferating on the battlefield, battery technology is very important as the US and other countries strive for lighter batteries that provide more power.

The DLA qualified on 28 December 18 teams to participate in an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to provide facility support across the United States. What this means is that the contract will award a group of hours of work to one of the teams. There is no total of hours to be awarded (IQ) and no time limit on when they can be awarded during the life of the contract (IQ). There is no guarantee that any of the companies will be given work, or that any work will be given at all. Some how this will save the government money. See Defenselink.mil for more.
