BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a purchase order under the base contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407) for the delivery of 15 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845, Part PX1500) at a total price of $107.10, with an award date of July 15, 2026. The order is a single-line item firm-fixed-price acquisition conducted under simplified acquisition procedures, utilizing FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), enabling expedited payment upon receipt of a valid invoice. Delivery is required to be completed by July 20, 2026, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with FOB Origin terms and the Government assuming responsibility for inspection and acceptance at the destination. Shipping must be conducted via traceable means, explicitly prohibiting parcel post, and each unit must be marked with the CAGE code, part number, and contract number to ensure traceability. Packaging and labeling requirements are minimal, with no specific MIL-STDs or barcoding standards cited, though compliance with DoD unit of issue and inventory management practices is implied. No distinct Section C, D, E, H, I, J, or M content was provided in the documentation, suggesting that technical specifications, packaging standards, inspection criteria, evaluation factors, and contract clauses are either incorporated by reference from the base contract or are not separately documented in this issuance. The awardee has not been formally designated as a small or socioeconomic business category, and no affirmative certifications, labor compliance statements, or subcontracting requirements were included. Payment details, acquiring office contacts, and accounting codes such as AAC or TAS are not specified, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procuring Contracting Officer is named in the award notice. The transaction reflects a low-value, high-volume commercial item procurement typical of DLA’s streamlined logistics support.
