The award was issued on July 20, 2026, with a strict delivery deadline of July 23, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning the government assumes transportation costs from the contractor’s location. The battery must be delivered to the USS Scranton (SSN 756) via FPO AP 96692, and all packaging must strictly comply with IATA and ICAO hazardous materials regulations to prevent short circuits and dangerous heat generation, with no parcel post permitted. Shipment documentation must include the contract number SPE7M117D0001, delivery order SPE7LX26F74F7, NSN, and manufacturer CAGE codes 80205 and 1WSP1, along with a "not restricted" statement and reference to Special Provision A123 on the air waybill. The contractor is a certified Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, triggering federal reporting obligations under the WOSB program, and must adhere to all compliance requirements tied to lithium battery transport. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service through remittance to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH, using payment code SL4701 and the provided accounting identifier BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The acquisition was conducted under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, leveraging the Fast Pay clause FAR 52.213-1, indicating a streamlined, simplified process with no trade-offs. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the government responsible for confirming conformity to contract requirements. No formal MIL-STD codes are cited, though MIL-STD-129 is implied for marking, and no explicit barcoding or preservation standards are specified. Contract administration is handled by Jeffrey Dixius of the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, and the award rests on four referenced contract modifications, though their contents are not available.
