BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for 14.000 pounds of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a total price of $253.12, with an award date of July 15, 2026. The item, a commercial off-the-shelf product, is being delivered under a rated order governed by the Defense Priorities and Allocation System (15 CFR 700) to support USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT CVN 71 at FPO AP 96632. Delivery is FOB origin, meaning the government assumes transportation costs and risk upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, with a required delivery date of July 20, 2026. The contract employs Fast Pay procedures under FAR 52.213-1, allowing for streamlined invoice processing and payment, which aligns with its minimal dollar value and single-line item structure, indicating a likely Lowest Price Technically Acceptable award basis. Packaging and marking requirements mandate BSM identification, ship-to code, and payment code SL4701, with shipment via traceable carriers only—parcel post is prohibited. Invoicing must follow DFARS 252.232-7003 and is typically submitted electronically, with payments managed by DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by a government representative, who confirms conformity with contract specifications. The contract references multiple modifications (P00014, P00020, P00021, P00032) containing critical packaging and identification data, though no explicit MIL-STD standards, barcoding specifications, or preservation requirements are detailed in the publicly available data. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and administrative support is provided by Tiffany Lynn. No contract clauses, attachments, evaluation factors, or special requirements beyond standard supply and payment terms are explicitly outlined, suggesting a low-complexity, routine procurement executed under commercial item procedures.
