BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a single-line-item delivery order, SPE7LX26F70Y3, to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER INC (CAGE 4U407), a small business with Small Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Small Business status, for one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135009857845) at a total contract value of $7.14. The order was issued under the base indefinite-delivery contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 and modified by several PID/PACK amendments, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to the U.S. Air Force Medical Command facility in San Antonio, Texas. The contract specifies FOB origin for shipping, though the header states FOB destination, creating ambiguity requiring clarification; all shipments must use the fastest traceable means and exclude parcel post. Payment is processed via voucher under the Fast Pay provision of FAR 52.213-1, with remittance directed to the Defense Financial and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contractor is responsible for delivery and compliance with contract specifications, while government acceptance occurs at destination based on conformity with the NSN and CAGE codes. The order includes no options, indefinite quantities, or specified packaging or preservation standards beyond marking packages with contract identifiers, and no barcoding or MIL-STDs are required. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support handled by Tiffany Lynn, though no named COR or COTR is assigned. The award relies on the contractor’s certified socioeconomic representations under FAR Part 19 and the WOSB program, obligating ongoing compliance with SBA regulations. All terms, including inspection, delivery, and payment, are governed by the delivery order and referenced modifications, with no additional special requirements or evaluation factors documented in the award materials.
