BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of 10 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135008357210) at a total contract value of $119.30. The order was issued on July 21, 2026, with delivery due by July 28, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The item is to be delivered to a military destination in Sturgis, South Carolina, with inspection and acceptance occurring at that location. Payment is governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay) and DFARS 252.232-7003 (Electronic Submission of Payment Requests), requiring use of the Wide Area Workflow system for invoicing, with remittance handled by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. The contract includes a DPAS rated order under 15 CFR 700, granting it priority allocation status. Packaging and shipping requirements mandate traceable methods only, prohibiting parcel post, and require each package to be clearly marked with a Traceable Control Number and BSM identification. No specific military standards for packaging are cited, though the requirements align with typical MIL-STD-129 practices. The awardee’s small business status triggers applicable reporting obligations under FAR and DFARS, but no further socioeconomic certifications were indicated. The contract contains no option quantities, no performance period extension, no key personnel requirements, and no special security or OCI clauses, reflecting a streamlined, low-value, simplified acquisition under FAR Part 13. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius of DLA Land and Maritime, with post-award support handled by Tiffany Lynn.
