BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the delivery of two packages of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135008357210) at a total contract value of $23.86. The delivery order, SPE7LX26F74X7, was issued on July 21, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 28, 2026. The item is to be delivered FOB Origin from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, to the Naval Branch Health Clinic at Patuxent River, Maryland, with the government assuming all transportation costs and risks after shipment. The contract operates under simplified acquisition procedures and Fast Pay guidelines per FAR 52.213-1, which enables expedited payment upon receipt of a compliant invoice submitted electronically through Wide Area WorkFlow as mandated by DFARS 252.232-7003. No option quantities, variation allowances, or additional line items are included; the order is fixed at two packages with no tolerance for quantity deviation. Packaging must be traceable with clear labeling that includes the BSM Identification, contract and delivery order numbers, and specific PID/PACK codes referenced in modifications P00014 through P00032; parcel post is prohibited. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, based solely on conformity to the contract requirements without specified technical inspection criteria. The order is designated as a Rated Order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), requiring priority performance and compliance with allocation directives. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn at DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. The base contract type is inferred as Firm Fixed Price, consistent with its low-value nature and use of streamlined acquisition processes. No technical specifications, MIL-STDs, or detailed quality standards are cited beyond contractual compliance, and no representations beyond small business status and DPAS rating are included. The award reflects a minimal-value logistics transaction focused on administrative efficiency, timely delivery, and full compliance with DoD procurement regulations.
