BATTERY ASSEMBLY

Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Direct Line, Inc. for the procurement of lead acid non-spillable battery assemblies (NSN 6140-01-453-8592). The contract, designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS 335910, established a guaranteed minimum of 2,588.80 dollars and a base period ceiling of 250,000.00 dollars. The agreement featured tiered pricing based on quantity and included two option periods with price escalations. Performance was set as FOB Origin from the contractor's facility in Sunrise, Florida, with a required delivery window of 45 days after the date of each order. The contract mandated strict adherence to military standards for packaging and marking, specifically MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, and required a six-month non-extendable shelf life for the items. All invoicing was required to be processed electronically through the Wide Area Workflow system. However, modification P00001, issued on August 5, 2026, cancelled the award in its entirety at no cost to the government or the contractor because Direct Line, Inc. was unable to supply the material. This modification reduced the total contract amount from 8,748.88 dollars to 0.00 dollars.
