BATTERY ASSEMBLY

Defense Logistics Agency award SPE7L326F0515, issued under delivery order SPE7L125D5003, was originally awarded to Direct Line, Inc. on August 5, 2026. The contract was established as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 335910 for the procurement of lead acid non spillable battery assemblies. The agreement was structured as an indefinite delivery contract with a base period estimated value of 250,000 dollars and a three year ordering period, requiring deliveries within 45 days after receipt of order. Terms specified FOB Origin with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor facility in Sunrise, Florida. The contract mandated strict adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking, alongside OSHA hazard communication standards for the handling of hazardous materials. Administrative requirements included mandatory invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow and compliance with various FAR and DFARS clauses regarding small business representations, sustainable procurement, and the use of U.S. flag vessels for ocean transportation. However, modification P00001, effective August 5, 2026, cancelled the award in its entirety due to the contractor's inability to supply the material. This modification cancelled CLIN 0001 and reduced the total contract amount to zero.
