The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business and small disadvantaged business also certified as a woman-owned small business, for the procurement of one unit of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135-01-333-6737) at a total price of $48.36. The order, issued on July 14, 2026, with a delivery requirement of July 21, 2026, is to be shipped to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower at FPO AE 09532 under FOB ORIGIN terms, with government payment responsibility at the origin point. The item must be sourced from an authorized manufacturer with part number EN529 and packaged to prevent short circuits and dangerous heat generation in compliance with SDS Special Provisions and IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, including Special Provision A123 and “not restricted” labeling on air waybills. All shipments must use traceable transportation methods and include the Transport Control Number V0336961715222, with parcel post explicitly prohibited. Payment will be processed under FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay procedures through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, against the appropriation code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contract requires compliance with the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) priority rating DO-C9, mandating prioritized performance and allocation. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery point by the Government, with no formal quality standards cited beyond contractual conformity and regulatory adherence. The contractor’s small business status triggers reporting obligations under FAR 19.14 and 19.15. No options, modifications to this specific order, or detailed technical specifications beyond the NSN and packaging mandates are included, and the contract contains no explicit FAR clause listing, attachments list, or evaluation factors, indicating it is a streamlined, low-value transaction executed under a broader indefinite-delivery contract.
