BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a $28.56 delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for four non-rechargeable batteries with NSN 6135009857845 at a unit price of $7.14. The award, issued on July 20, 2026, was processed under the Fast Pay provision of FAR 52.213-1, indicating a simplified acquisition conducted on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis with no formal competitive evaluation due to the minimal value and single-responder nature of the order. Delivery is scheduled for July 27, 2026, with FOB Origin terms meaning the contractor bears responsibility only until the goods leave their facility in Greenville, NC, after which the government assumes transport costs and risk. The final delivery point is Bangor, ME, where government personnel will inspect and accept the shipment. The contractor must comply with stringent packaging and labeling requirements, including the use of the Tracking Control Number W9086W62010033, BSM identification, and shipment via traceable carriers—parcel post is prohibited. Invoicing must adhere to DFARS 252.232-7003 and be submitted electronically under Fast Pay rules, with payment processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using code SL4701. The order is designated as a DPAS-rated priority under 15 CFR 700, requiring the contractor to prioritize performance in support of national defense. The contract is a non-option, single-line-item purchase with zero variance allowed, and no additional clauses, attachments, or technical specifications beyond the NSN and delivery terms were provided. The awardee is classified as a small business with no other socioeconomic designations indicated, and contract administration is handled by Jeffrey Dixius at DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, OH, with Tiffany Lynn as the local point of contact.
