The Defense Logistics Agency awarded ULTRALIFE CORP.

The batteries are to be delivered to Columbus, Ohio, under FOB Destination terms, meaning the government assumes risk upon delivery, and performance is governed by strict compliance with MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and MIL-STD-129 for marking and bar-coding, including GS1-128 labeling with DoD ACID, NSN, manufacturer information, lot number, and expiration date in YYYYMMDD format. The item has a Type II shelf life of 60 months, is mercury-free, and is excepted from hazardous materials transport regulations under Special Provision 188 and A45 due to controlled internal charge levels. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government using MIL-STD-1916 sampling with stringent AQL thresholds—0.1 for critical, 1.0 for major, and 4.0 for minor defects—and the contract mandates electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow with no alternative systems permitted. The contract incorporates numerous FAR and DFARS clauses mandating compliance with federal regulations, including prohibitions on hazardous materials like hexavalent chromium and fluorinated AFFF, restrictions on sourcing certain minerals, requirements for whistleblower protections and anti-trafficking policies, and affirmative obligations under executive orders related to paid sick leave, minimum wages, and equal opportunity for veterans and individuals with disabilities. Multiple clauses are modified through Deviation 2026-00038, particularly those related to System for Award Management maintenance, representation incorporation, child labor, and safety data handling. ULTRALIFE CORP. must maintain active SAM registration, provide its UEI and CAGE code, and certify its small business status without reliance on DLA-controlled technical data per H10 clause. The contract is subject to the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, requiring priority performance, and includes provisions for payment terms under FAR 52.232-1
