(CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the supply of 179 packages of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013511131) at a fixed price of $3,236.32. The award was issued on July 15, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government at the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while government inspection and acceptance occur at the destination. The order is designated as a Rated Order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), prioritizing national defense needs, and qualifies for Fast Pay under FAR 52.213-1, enabling expedited processing. Invoices must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow in compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003, with payment directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Shipment must occur via the fastest traceable means, with parcel post strictly prohibited, and all packaging must be marked with CAGE codes, part numbers, RDD 777, and FB4830 identifiers, though no specific MIL-STD packaging or preservation standards are mandated. The contractor’s small business status is affirmed, but no other socioeconomic certifications are indicated. The contract reflects a standard, low-value delivery order under a pre-existing IDIQ vehicle, with no options, variations, or additional special requirements beyond those governing delivery, invoicing, and priority handling.
