BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a single-line-item delivery order, SPE7LX-26-F-69H9, under the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001, to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small, woman-owned, small disadvantaged business, for one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135009857845, Part 003-360013R00) at a total price of $7.14. The order was issued on July 14, 2026, with delivery required by July 21, 2026, at FOB origin to destinations including Ramstein, Germany, and APO AE 09094-3219, adhering to DLA procedural notes C19 and C20 for shipping and packaging. The contract leverages simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 52.213-1, Fast Payment, enabling expedited invoice processing, and is designated as a Rated Order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), mandating priority performance. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, with payment processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH, using EDI and voucher-based verification. Packaging must include NSN and manufacturer CAGE codes (02FP7, 3J629) from Blocks 1 and 2 of the order, though no specific MIL-STD packaging, preservation, or barcoding standards are cited. The contractor’s socioeconomic status triggers compliance with FAR Part 19 subcontracting reporting requirements, and all administrative oversight is managed by the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn providing post-award support. No technical specifications, inspection criteria beyond conformity, or additional contractual clauses beyond Fast Payment and DPAS priorities are detailed, reflecting the minimal complexity of this low-value, streamlined supply acquisition.
