BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a Women-Owned Small Business, for the supply of six packages of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845) at a total contract value of $42.84. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, with delivery required by July 17, 2026, and performance governed by FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government at the contractor’s shipping point. Payment will be processed under code SL4701 via the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, in accordance with Fast Pay provisions under FAR 52.213-1 and invoice submission requirements outlined in DFARS 252.232-7003, with electronic invoicing through WAWF expected. The batteries must be packaged and labeled in compliance with MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, including Transportation Control Numbers and “MARKFOR” designations for traceability, and parcel post is explicitly prohibited. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination address in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and the Government is responsible for freight costs. Contract administration is managed by DLA Land and Maritime, with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the primary administrative contact. The contractor’s small business and WOSB status trigger reporting obligations under FAR 52.219-8 and FAR 52.219-15, and the order is classified as a DPAS-rated priority under 15 CFR 700, mandating accelerated performance. No option periods, alternate quantities, or subcontracting clauses are included, and no designated COR or COTR is identified, with oversight responsibilities resting with the ordering officer and post-award team.
