BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged women-owned business, for 56 non-rechargeable batteries identified by NSN 6135009857845 and part numbers including 15A, 003-360013R00, 12242, E91, and PX1500. The total contract value is $399.84, with a firm fixed price structure under simplified acquisition procedures governed by FAR 52.213-1, enabling fast payment upon receipt and acceptance. The delivery order was awarded on July 15, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 20, 2026, under FOB origin terms where the government assumes transportation costs and responsibility after shipment. Performance is fulfilled by shipping directly to Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, where the government will conduct final inspection and acceptance. The contract is designated as a DPAS-rated order (DO-C9), prioritizing its performance within the defense supply chain, and the contractor must comply with marking requirements using the contract and delivery order numbers on all packaging and documentation while avoiding parcel post for shipment. The order was issued electronically via EDI, and payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the appropriation identifier BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The awardee’s small business status and socioeconomic designations are formalized, triggering compliance obligations under the WOSB and 8(a) programs, and the contract includes no options, substitutions, or alternate line items. Administrative oversight is managed by Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the local administrator, with no designated technical representative listed. Packaging and preservation standards are not explicitly defined beyond traceability and avoidance of parcel post, with no reference to MIL-STDs or detailed technical specifications beyond the NSN and part numbers. All contractual obligations are anchored to compliance with the base contract and applicable FAR provisions, with the award based on lowest price technically acceptable standards due to the commercial nature of the item and lack of evaluation factors beyond price and delivery timing.
