BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm fixed price delivery order, SPE7LX26F73A5, to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged and women-owned business, for the supply of nine non-rechargeable batteries with NSN 6135013511131 at a total contract value of $162.72. The order was issued under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001 and is subject to FAR 52.213-1, Fast Pay, which enables expedited payment processing for commercial items through electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow, as mandated by DFARS 252.232-7003. Deliverables are to be shipped to Fort Hood, Texas, with FOB Origin terms and payment administered by the Department of Defense Financial and Accounting Service using code SL4701, with remittance to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH. Packaging must be marked with “DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC PACKAGES,” SHIP TO CODE, PAYMENT CODE SL4701, MARKFOR and M/F identifiers, DIC A0A, and DIST: V ADV: FC: Z9, with all labeling referencing current PID/PACK modifications to the parent contract. The batteries are to be accepted at destination by the government after inspection for conformity to contract requirements, with no explicit quality standards beyond compliance with DPAS 15 CFR 700, which designates this as a rated order requiring priority handling and associated reporting. The award was made under simplified acquisition procedures, consistent with the low-dollar value and absence of competitive evaluation factors, suggesting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis. No additional attachments, MIL-STD requirements, barcoding standards, or special contractual conditions such as security clearances or OCI clauses are specified, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn.
