BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The contract awarded to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407) under solicitation SPE7LX26F69W0 is a single-line-item supply order for one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135009857845) at a fixed price of $7.14, issued as a delivery order under SPE7M117D0001. The award was made on July 14, 2026, with delivery required by July 21, 2026, to the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 26 at MCAS New River, Jacksonville, NC. The contract employs the Fast Pay clause (FAR 52.213-1), enabling expedited payment processing without traditional invoicing, consistent with simplified acquisition procedures. Delivery terms are FOB origin, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government upon shipment, with the government responsible for all transportation costs. Shipments must be sent via traceable means—parcel post is prohibited—and must include the manufacturer’s CAGE code, part number, and transport control number for full traceability. No specific military packaging standards such as MIL-STD-129 are cited, and no barcoding requirements are mandated. The item must meet DLA unit of issue standards, with zero tolerance for quantity variance. The awardee is not identified as a small business or under any socioeconomic category, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic declarations are included. No contracting officer, COR, COTR, payment remit details, or invoicing system information are provided. The contract lacks technical specifications, quality inspection criteria, or evaluation factors beyond pricing, indicating a minimalistic, lowest-price technically acceptable award based solely on the delivery of a standard commercial item under a delivery order framework.
