BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER, a women-owned small business with CAGE code 4U407, for the supply of one package of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a total price of $18.08. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, with delivery required by July 24, 2026, to FPO AP 96661 aboard the USS BOXER LHD 4 under FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government at the contractor’s location. The order is processed under FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay provisions, enabling expedited payment within 15 days upon acceptance, with invoicing mandated through Wide Area Workflow using DFARS 252.232-7003. Payment is administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service under code SL4701, and accounting is tracked with the appropriation code BX:97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contractor is a rated supplier under DPAS regulation 15 CFR 700, requiring priority performance compliance. All packaging must be marked with “DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC” and “BSM IDENTIFICATION,” with shipment identifiers such as R2180862020354 and references to DLAD PROC NOTE C19/C20 ensuring traceability. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by an authorized government representative, with the requirement that items conform strictly to contract specifications. The award reflects a lowest price technically acceptable procurement with no evaluation factors detailed, consistent with its low-dollar value and simplified acquisition procedures. No explicit MIL-STD packaging or preservation standards are cited, though compliance with standard DoD logistics practices such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073 is likely implied. Modifications to the base contract include P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032, and no options, additional line items, or technical specifications beyond the item’s NSN are included.
