BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged women-owned business, for the procurement of two packaging units of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a total price of $36.16. The award, issued on July 21, 2026, is a fast-pay transaction governed by FAR 52.213-1, enabling expedited payment upon delivery and acceptance. Delivery is required by July 24, 2026, with FOB origin terms and government-funded freight responsibilities, meaning the contractor must prepare and deliver the goods to the designated origin point while the government assumes risk and cost thereafter. The sole delivery destination is USNS CARL BRASHEAR (T-AKE 7), Unit 100204 Box 1, FPO AP 96661, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination by government representatives confirming conformance to contract specifications. The contractor’s small business status triggers compliance with FAR 52.219-8 and FAR 52.219-9, requiring subcontracting plan obligations and reporting via SAM.gov and the SBA’s Dynamic Small Business Search. The order is designated as a rated priority under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS, 15 CFR 700), mandating prioritized performance and delivery tracking. Packaging must comply with standard DoD marking requirements, including CAGE code and unit of issue identifiers consistent with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, though specific preservation details are not enumerated. Invoicing is handled electronically through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using voucher numbering systems aligned with EDI transmission protocols. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius, the Contracting/Ordering Officer, with administrative support provided by DLA Land and Maritime’s Post-Award team. No options, modifications to quantity, or additional line items are included, making this a fixed-price, single-delivery instrument with no escalation or variance provisions.
