BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, a small disadvantaged women-owned business with CAGE code 4U407, for the supply of two non-rechargeable batteries, NSN 6135008357210, at a total value of $23.86. The award, issued on July 20, 2026, as solicitation SPE7LX26F74N2, qualifies as a simplified acquisition under federal procedures and reflects a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable selection method given its minimal scope, single line item, and use of Fast Pay provisions under FAR 52.213-1, which mandates payment within 15 days of invoice submission. Delivery is FOB origin, with the government assuming all transportation costs and risks after the item leaves the contractor’s facility, and final acceptance will occur at the destination, Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron MALS-24 at MCAB Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, by an authorized government representative. The contractor must ship using the government-issued Transportation Control Number R0912462011282 and comply with DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, ensuring the order receives top scheduling priority. Invoicing is required electronically via DFARS 252.232-7003, typically through Wide Area WorkFlow, and adherence to implied MIL-STD-129R labeling and packaging standards is expected, though explicit packaging details are referenced through prior modifications to the base contract. The recipient is also bound by subcontracting plan requirements due to its socioeconomic designations and must ensure all compliance reporting for the WOSB and SDB status is maintained. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the administrative contact, with all correspondence directed to the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic Program Directorate in Columbus, Ohio. No additional clauses, attachments, inspection criteria, or performance metrics beyond those tied to delivery, invoice compliance, and DPAS prioritization are included, reflecting the minimalistic nature typical of expedited, low-value procurements.
