BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, a small disadvantaged women-owned business with CAGE code 4U407, for 96 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845) at a total price of $685.44. The order, issued on July 21, 2026, with a delivery deadline of July 24, 2026, is FOB origin and requires shipment to USS RONALD REAGAN CVN 76 at FPO AP 96616. The acquisition is processed under the Fast Pay provision of FAR 52.213-1, enabling expedited payment via EDI, with invoices remitted to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Packaging and marking must comply with standard Department of Defense protocols, including clear labeling of NSN, CAGE codes (4U407 and 02FP7), and contract identifiers, though specific MIL-STD references are not explicit. The government retains sole authority for inspection and acceptance at the destination. The contractor’s socioeconomic status as a small disadvantaged women-owned business triggers reporting obligations under FAR Part 19 and DPAS Regulation 15 CFR 700, which also designates this order as priority-rated. Payment and administrative oversight are handled by DLA Land and Maritime’s Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn providing administrative support. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated, and no special requirements, key personnel, or security clearances are imposed. The contract contains no option quantities, and the line item has a zero percent variance allowance, making the quantity and price fixed. While no formal list of attachments or detailed contract clauses are provided, the order operates under established DLA procedures and standard commercial item acquisition practices.
