BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a one-time delivery order for a single non-rechargeable battery, NSN 6135-01-333-6737, to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc, identified by CAGE code 4U407, under the base contract SPE7M117D0001. The contract value is fixed at $48.36, with no option periods or quantity flexibility, and the item must be delivered FOB origin by July 17, 2026, to the USS OAK HILL LSD 51 at FPO AE 09573. The contractor is a certified small business, as indicated by the affirmative marking in Block 11, triggering compliance with FAR 52.212-3 and 52.219-1, though no other socioeconomic designations are claimed. The battery, manufactured under CAGE codes 80205 and 1WSP1, requires packaging that prevents short circuits and heat generation in accordance with the Safety Data Sheet and applicable hazardous materials regulations, including IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and Special Provision A123 for air transport. Marking requirements mandate inclusion of the NSN and manufacturer CAGE codes on all packages and shipping documents, though barcoding and specific labeling formats are not detailed. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, with no specified technical inspection criteria beyond general conformity. Payment is processed electronically through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under the Fast Pay clause FAR 52.213-1, which applies due to the simplified acquisition and small business status. The award was issued via EDI on July 14, 2026, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn of DLA Land and Maritime. No contracting officer’s representative, quality inspection standards, or MIL-STD specifications are documented, and while modifications to the base contract exist, the current order is a single-line, fixed-price transaction with no additional attachments or special requirements beyond packaging, hazardous material handling, and delivery compliance.
