The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a certified small business, for the supply of 35 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845) at a total price of $249.90. The award, issued on July 15, 2026, is a fixed-price transaction governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), indicating a streamlined administrative procurement process with expedited payment via electronic data interchange. Delivery is required FOB origin by July 20, 2026, with final destination at USS WASP LHD 1, FPO AE 09514, and the contractor is responsible for packaging and shipping via the fastest traceable means—parcel post is explicitly prohibited. All packages and documentation must be marked with the contract and delivery order numbers, V21560 identifier, and RDD: 777, aligning with implied compliance with MIL-STD-129 for marking and DLA packaging standards. The order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), requiring prioritized performance over non-rated orders, and the contractor is certified as a small business with obligations to report subcontracting data and maintain SAM registration. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and payment code SL4701. Inspection and acceptance occur at the delivery destination by the government, with no specific technical or quality standards outlined beyond general contract compliance. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius of the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with post-award support provided by Tiffany Lynn. The delivery order is a single-line-item action under a pre-existing indefinite-delivery contract with no option quantities or extended performance periods.
