BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a micro-purchase delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a women-owned small business, for the supply of one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135-00-835-7210) at a total price of $11.93. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, with delivery required by July 24, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation costs and risks once the item leaves the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The order is classified as a rated priority under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, requiring expeditious performance and compliance with federal prioritization regulations. Payment is processed under the Fast Pay provision (FAR 52.213-1), with invoices submitted via DFARS 252.232-7003 and remitted by Defense Finance and Accounting Service at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. All shipments must use traceable methods with parcel post strictly prohibited, and packages must be marked with the CAGE code, part number, and NSN in accordance with contract requirements, though specific packaging, preservation, or barcoding standards are not detailed in the document. The contractor is certified as a small, women-owned business, triggering compliance with small business reporting obligations under FAR 19.5 and DFARS 219.5. There are no options, ceiling limits, or quantity variances permitted, and the contract contains no formal clauses beyond Fast Pay, nor does it include a contracting officer’s representative, special requirements, or technical specifications beyond conformance to the item description. Inspection and acceptance occur at the government’s destination location, with no test or quality standards specified beyond contractual compliance. The award was made using simplified acquisition procedures, consistent with its low dollar value and streamlined administrative structure.
