BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. CAGE 4U407 for the supply of ten non-rechargeable batteries with NSN 6135009857845 at a total price of $71.40, awarded on July 17, 2026. This was a simplified acquisition conducted under FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), classified as a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable procurement with no competitive bidding due to the minimal value and commercial nature of the item. The contractor, certified as a small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned business, must deliver the batteries FOB origin from its location in Greenville, North Carolina, with transfer of title and risk occurring at that point; the destination is Virginia Beach, Virginia. Delivery is required by July 20, 2026, within a three-day performance window. Packaging must be shipped via traceable means with parcel post prohibited, and all shipments must be clearly marked with the contract number and delivery order number. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, with compliance required against contract specifications and DLA procedural notes C19 and C20. Payment will be processed electronically by Defense Finance and Accounting Service using the provided BX code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189, and invoicing is handled through government financial systems. The award stems from an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle, with no option quantities or additional line items, and no formal attachments, MIL-STDs, or technical standards beyond the referenced NSN and specification codes were explicitly included in this document.
