BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER, a women-owned small business with CAGE code 4U407, for the purchase of three non-rechargeable batteries identified by NSN 6135009857845, at a total contract price of $21.42. The award was issued on July 15, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government at the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes responsibility for freight charges. The delivery destination is NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC in Norfolk, Virginia, and shipments must be sent via traceable means, with parcel post explicitly prohibited. Packaging and labeling must include the NSN, CAGE code, delivery order information, and government use codes DIC A0A, DIST 9B, and FC X2, though no specific MIL-STD specifications are cited. The contract utilizes Fast Pay under FAR 52.213-1, enabling accelerated electronic payment processing within 15 days of invoice submission, which must be submitted via EDI to the designated remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. Payment is governed by accounting identifier 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and processed through payment office code SL4701. As a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), the contractor is obligated to prioritize performance in accordance with 15 CFR 700. The award was made under simplified acquisition procedures, with the basis of award likely Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, given the low dollar value and absence of evaluation factors or trade-off criteria. The contractor’s representation as a woman-owned small business triggers compliance obligations under SBA programs and federal reporting requirements through FPDS. Contract administration is handled by Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer, with Tiffany Lynn as the post-award contact, and no COR or COTR is identified. No formal section I clauses, section J attachments, or detailed technical specifications are documented, indicating this is a streamlined, low-value supply order under an existing indefinite-delivery contract vehicle.
