The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the master contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a Small Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Small Business, for four non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845, Part PX1500) at a total value of $28.56. The order was issued on July 15, 2026, with a delivery deadline of July 22, 2026, and is to be shipped FOB origin to USNS MERCY at FPO AP 96672-4090 using traceable transportation methods, with parcel post explicitly prohibited. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and payments will be processed electronically through Fast Pay under FAR 52.213-1 by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701 and appropriation identifier BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination by government personnel. Packaging and labeling must follow traceable identification standards, incorporating the contract and delivery order numbers and referencing modifications P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032, with implied compliance with DLA and DoD marking practices including MIL-STD-129, though not explicitly mandated. The contract does not list a contracting officer’s representative, nor does it specify technical inspection criteria beyond conformity to contract requirements, and while no formal section I clauses or attachment list are provided, DPAS compliance under 15 CFR 700 is required. The order is structured as a firm-fixed-price delivery under an IDIQ framework, with no options or extended performance periods, and the small business certifications trigger ongoing SBA reporting obligations.
