BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of two pairs of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a total contract value of $36.16. The award, issued on July 18, 2026, under solicitation SPE7LX26F73K6, is a single-line-item delivery with no options or quantity variances permitted. Delivery is required by July 21, 2026, under FOB ORIGIN terms, meaning the contractor fulfills its obligation upon making the goods available at its facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes all transportation costs and risks from that point forward. Final inspection and acceptance occur at the designated delivery destination: USNS ALAN SHEPARD, FPO AP 96678. The contract incorporates FAR 52.213-1, Fast Pay, enabling prompt payment processing for this commercial item purchase, and is issued under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rated order authority as defined in 15 CFR 700, requiring priority performance and compliance with federal allocation protocols. Packaging and marking must include the CAGE code, part number, and NSN as required for government accountability, though full packaging, preservation, and barcoding standards are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation and may be referenced in underlying contract modifications. Payment instructions require invoicing through EDI in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, with remittance handled by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn. No contracting officer representative or certifying official is identified. The contractor's small business status triggers compliance with subcontracting reporting obligations under FAR 19.7, and no additional socioeconomic certifications are indicated. The base contract appears to be an indefinite-delivery vehicle, but this specific order is a standalone transaction with no future delivery authority or extension provisions.
