BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, CAGE 4U407, for the procurement of 30 packs of non-rechargeable batteries, NSN 6135013336737, at a total contract value of $1,450.80. The award was issued on August 1, 2026, with a required delivery date of August 4, 2026, and FOB Origin terms apply, though conflicting references to FOB Destination exist without clarification from an attached schedule. The contractor is certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned business, triggering applicable socioeconomic compliance obligations under FAR 19.102 and SBA requirements. The order is processed under simplified acquisition procedures governed by FAR Part 13 and includes the Fast Pay clause, FAR 52.213-1, to enable expedited payment via WAWF electronic invoicing. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, against an accounting code of BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The batteries must be packaged and marked in compliance with Safety Data Sheet provisions to prevent short circuits and heat generation, and all packaging must bear the contract and delivery order identification numbers in block text. No MIL-STD packaging or marking standards are explicitly cited, though compliance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and DPAS-rated order requirements under 15 CFR 700 is mandated. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, specifically at the U.S. Navy shipping address FPO AE 09592, with the Government responsible for verifying conformity to NSN specifications and hazardous materials transport rules. No contract administration personnel are listed beyond the contracting officer, Jeffrey Dixius, and no COTR is named. The base contract contains multiple modifications, and while no formal evaluation factors, section H special requirements, or list of attachments are detailed, the transaction reflects a streamlined, low-dollar, price-based award consistent with LPTA methodology.
