BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the master contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a certified small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, for the procurement of eight non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857845) at a total price of $57.12. The award, issued as a simplified acquisition under FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay provisions, was made on July 16, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 23, 2026. The batteries are to be shipped FOB origin to Training Air Wing Four at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, with government assumption of freight costs and risk of loss upon shipment. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination. All packaging must be traceable, and parcel post is prohibited; shipments must be marked with the order and contract identifiers SPE7M117D0001 and SPE7LX26F71W7. The procurement follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with no technical evaluation criteria beyond conformance to the specified NSN and part number. The order is subject to DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, requiring prioritized performance. Payment will be processed electronically through DLA’s designated remittance address in Columbus, Ohio, using government accounting codes 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and PR 7017526420. The vendor’s socioeconomic certifications trigger compliance obligations under SBA programs and subcontracting reporting requirements. No technical specifications beyond the NSN are provided, nor are any MIL-STD packaging, preservation, or marking standards cited. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn at DLA Land and Maritime. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated. The unit of measure “PG” on the line item appears inconsistent with standard practice for batteries but does not invalidate the price or delivery obligation. All terms are administratively executed under the base indefinite-delivery contract, with no options, extensions, or performance incentives included.
