BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged woman-owned small business, for the supply of one nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135013511131) at a total contract price of $18.08. The order was issued on July 14, 2026, and requires delivery to be completed by July 21, 2026, with FOB Origin terms meaning the government assumes all transportation costs and risk of loss from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, to the designated delivery point at Kansas City, Missouri. Payment will be processed electronically via EDI under Fast Pay procedures (FAR 52.213-1) by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the appropriation code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The battery must be marked with the contract and delivery order numbers and shipped via traceable methods, with prohibitions against Parcel Post, though no specific MIL-STD packaging or preservation requirements are detailed. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, and compliance with the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) is certified. The award was made under simplified acquisition procedures without formal evaluation factors, based on price and availability, leveraging the underlying IDIQ contract vehicle. The contractor’s socioeconomic status and DPAS compliance trigger ongoing reporting obligations in SAM.gov, and post-award administrative support is provided by DLA Land and Maritime’s Strategic ACO Program Directorate.
