The Department of Defense's NAICS 335910 (Battery Manufacturing) market: incumbents, spending trend, set-asides and open solicitations — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov notices.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 1,284 | $39.6M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 782 | $47.6M | +20% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 1,401 | $26.0M | -45% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 193 | $8.1M | -69% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
| # | Contractor | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ENERSYS | $31.9M | 26.3% |
| 2 | SHOWA DENKO K.K. | $14.0M | 11.5% |
| 3 | C&D TECHNOLOGIES, INC. | $8.0M | 6.6% |
| 4 | CLARIOS, LLC | $7.8M | 6.4% |
| 5 | REMY BATTERY CO INC | $3.9M | 3.2% |
Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once.
