BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of 20 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a total contract value of $361.60, awarded on July 20, 2026, with delivery required by July 27, 2026. The item is supplied under a firm-fixed-price arrangement governed by FAR 52.213-1, enabling fast pay net 15 terms, and invoices must be submitted electronically in compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003 through the Wide Area Workflow system, with payments administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service under appropriation identifier BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. Delivery is FOB origin, meaning the contractor is responsible for preparing and shipping the goods from its facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes all transportation costs and risk upon tender at origin. Shipments must avoid parcel post and use only traceable methods with barcoded shipping labels that include the manufacturer’s CAGE code, part number, and unique identifiers as specified, in alignment with military logistics standards. The order carries a DPAS rating under 15 CFR 700, prioritizing resource allocation, and requires strict adherence to marking and packaging protocols to ensure traceability. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination facility at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, with no additional technical specifications, testing requirements, or performance metrics detailed beyond conformance to the NSN and contract line item. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and administrative post-award support is managed by Tiffany Lynn of DLA Land Post-Award. No options, modifications to quantity ranges, or additional clauses beyond those referenced were identified, and while no formal section M evaluation factors were provided, the award suggests a lowest-price technically acceptable selection process based on the streamlined nature of the order.
