Direct Current (DC) Load Bank

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is soliciting information regarding industry's capacity to produce a Direct Current (DC) Load Bank. The DC load bank is a new Marine Corps requirement that emerged from fielding a Lightweight Energy Storage System with a Lithium-Ion (Li) 6T battery and the Lightweight DC generator. The system should be able to provide up to a 1.8 kW load to the DC generator and be able to discharge a Lithium-Ion 6T MIL-PRF-32565C compliant battery. • The system must operate in deployable worldwide environments (MIL-STD-810H) with a temperature range of -25°F to 125°F and IP65 rating. • The system should weigh less than 44 lbs and be powered from the battery 28VDC bus. • The system's power connection shall be a NATO Slave Receptacle, compliant with STANAG 4074. • Respondents should provide a cost estimate for producing a DC Load Bank, as well as examples of past performance that demonstrate their capability to manage cost, schedule, and performance.
