BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order, SPE7LX26F72Q7, to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER INC (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for 20,000 packages of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845) at a total contract value of $142.80. The order was issued under the master contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 with modifications and is classified as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), mandating priority handling in support of national defense requirements. Delivery is scheduled for July 24, 2026, with FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s location, and payment for freight is the government’s responsibility. The batteries must be shipped via traceable carrier methods, excluding parcel post, and each package must bear specific labeling including the Payment Code SL4701, BSM identification, Transaction Control Number W901JT61970039, contract number SPE7LX-26-F-72Q7, NSN, and CAGE codes 4U407 and 02FP7 for tracking and logistics alignment. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, the W6KF HORACE HANSON USAR CENTER in Birmingham, Alabama. The contract incorporates FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), enabling expedited payment upon invoice submission, and requires compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003 for electronic invoicing via WAWF. The awardee affirmed its small business status, triggering obligations under FAR Part 19, and must ensure conformance to DoD unit of issue standards without deviation. No option periods, subcontracting plans, or additional clauses beyond those specified were included, reflecting a low-value, streamlined procurement focused on rapid fulfillment of a standardized defense-critical item.
