BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center CAGE 4U407 for the procurement of ten nonrechargeable batteries, with a total contract value of $71.40. The award was issued on July 18, 2026, and delivery is required by July 21, 2026, to the U.S. Navy vessel USS McFaul DDG74 at FPO AE 09578. The order is classified as a simplified acquisition under FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), indicating it was awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis without competitive trade-off analysis. The item is identified by NSN 6135009857845 and is subject to inspection and acceptance at the destination by the Government, with payment processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using remittance address P.O. Box 182317, Columbus OH 43218-2317 and payment code SL4701. The contractor is certified as a small business, triggering compliance with FAR Subpart 19 and DPAS priority rating requirements under 15 CFR 700, and the order is marked for government-paid freight under FOB destination terms, despite conflicting references to FOB origin. Packaging and marking must include the contract numbers SPE7M1-17-D-0001 and SPE7LX-26-F-73M3 along with manufacturer CAGE codes and part numbers, and while no specific MIL-STD packaging standards are cited, standardized identifiers imply compatibility with automated logistics systems. No additional clauses, attachments, evaluation factors, or special requirements beyond Fast Pay and DPAS are explicitly detailed in the delivery order, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius with administrative support handled by Tiffany Lynn. The procurement leverages an existing indefinite delivery vehicle, and all actions are conducted electronically via EDI with no formal proposal submission process required due to the low-dollar, commercial-item nature of the purchase.
