BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business certified as a Women-Owned Small Business and Small Disadvantaged Business, for the procurement of a single nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135-01-333-6737) at a total price of $48.36. The award was issued on July 15, 2026, and the delivery is scheduled for July 20, 2026, with FOB origin terms meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation costs and risk of loss upon shipment from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The battery is destined for the USS CURTIS WILBUR (DDG 54), with specific shipping instructions requiring packaging that prevents short circuits and complies with the Safety Data Sheet’s special provisions and IATA/ICAO regulations for hazardous materials. Marking requirements include BSM identification and the payment identification code SL4701, while invoices must be submitted under DFARS 252.232-7003, enabling Fast Pay Net 15 terms. The contract is a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS DO–C1), mandating priority performance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, with no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative designated. The award was processed through a simplified acquisition vehicle, utilizing fast payment procedures, and no option quantities, extended performance periods, or additional clauses beyond those related to delivery, payment, and compliance are included. The award is tied to a base indefinite-delivery contract, and modifications such as SPE7M117D0001P00014 provide context for packaging and administrative instructions but do not alter the core scope or value.
