BATTERY ASSEMBLY

Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime awarded an Indefinite-Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity contract, SPE7L1-25-D-5003, to Direct Line, Inc. for the procurement of non-spillable lead-acid battery assemblies. The overarching agreement establishes a guaranteed minimum of 2,588.80 dollars and a ceiling not to exceed 250,000.00 dollars, with a base performance period of three years. The contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 335910, featuring tiered pricing across a base period and two option periods based on order volume. A specific delivery order, SPE7L326F0373, was issued on August 5, 2026, for a battery assembly with a value of 4,378.82 dollars. However, modification P00001 subsequently cancelled this award in its entirety at no cost to the government or the contractor because the contractor was unable to supply the material, reducing the order value to 0.00 dollars. The contract mandates strict adherence to military standards for packaging, marking, and preservation, specifically MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at the contractor's facility in Sunrise, Florida, under FOB Origin terms. Administrative requirements include the use of Wide Area WorkFlow for invoicing and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity standards and OSHA hazard communication regulations for the handling of hazardous materials.
