BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407) for the procurement of ten pages of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135008357210) at a total price of $119.30, with an award date of July 20, 2026, and a required delivery date of July 27, 2026. The contractor, designated as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, is located in Greenville, North Carolina, and must ship the items FOB origin to the destination at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center in Seal Beach, California, using traceable shipping methods—parcel post is explicitly prohibited. All packages and documentation must be clearly marked with the contract identification numbers from Blocks 1 and 2 using block letters or numbers, and no barcoding or specific preservation standards are mandated. The contract incorporates the Fast Pay clause (FAR 52.213-1), enabling expedited payment through DLA’s legacy voucher system, with payment processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The order has zero tolerance for quantity variance and falls under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System as a rated order, requiring prioritized performance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination point by government representatives, and the item must conform strictly to contract specifications with no referenced technical standards beyond the base contract’s incorporated requirements. The transaction is below the simplified acquisition threshold, eliminating most reporting obligations, but the socioeconomic certifications remain active and subject to ongoing compliance.
