BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under basic contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407) for the procurement of 12 packs of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013985922) at a unit price of $17.11, resulting in a total contract value of $205.32. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 17, 2026, and the items are to be shipped from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, to the destination at Stillwater, Oklahoma, under FOB Origin terms with government-funded payment. The contract incorporates Fast Pay Net 15 terms under FAR 52.213-1, enabling expedited payment processing upon invoice submission in compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003, typically through the Wide Area Workflow system. The acquisition is classified under NAICS 335910 and is a commercial item purchase, consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach due to its low value, standardized product, and absence of technical evaluation factors. Packaging requirements mandate traceable shipping methods with exclusion of parcel post, and all packages must be marked with Defense Finance and Accounting Service codes, BSM identification numbers, and tracking identifiers such as W58DTW61950014, consistent with standard DoD labeling practices though no specific MIL-STD is cited. The Government performs acceptance at the destination point, and no technical specifications, quality standards, preservation, or inspection criteria beyond conformity to the contract are detailed, implying reliance on the underlying basic contract’s technical baseline. The contractor is not required to submit socioeconomic certifications or representational statements, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Technical Representative is designated, with primary administrative oversight handled by the contracting officer and local administrator. The order includes no options, quantity variances, or additional clauses beyond those referenced through the base contract, and no Section H special requirements are explicitly included in the documentation.
