BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. CAGE 4U407, a small disadvantaged women-owned business, for the procurement of 867 non-rechargeable batteries with NSN 6135013511131 at a total contract value of $15,675.36. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with a strict delivery deadline of July 23, 2026, and the items are to be shipped FOB ORIGIN, meaning the contractor assumes responsibility for delivery to the origin point while the government covers freight costs. The final delivery destination is Fort Irwin, CA, where government personnel will conduct inspection and acceptance at the point of arrival. Payment will be processed electronically via EDI under the Fast Pay provision of FAR 52.213-1, with remittance directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, OH using payment code SL4701 and appropriation code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contractor must ensure all packaging and labeling comply with traceable shipping standards and include identification numbers from the purchase order, though no specific preservation, moisture protection, or MIL-STD requirements are outlined. The contract specifies no quantity flexibility, and the order is subject to Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) requirements, triggering priority performance obligations. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius of the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn. No additional special requirements, key personnel obligations, or formal subcontracting plans are detailed in the available documentation, and while the awardee is certified as a small disadvantaged women-owned business, this designation triggers federal reporting compliance under FAR Part 19 but does not impose additional financial terms.
