BATTERY, NONRECHARGE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407) for two non-rechargeable batteries, with a total contract value of $14.28. The award was issued on July 17, 2026, under solicitation SPE7LX26F72R8, and performance is required to be completed by July 20, 2026, with delivery to the USNS HECTOR A CAFFERATA (ESB-8) in San Diego, California. The contract is FOB Origin, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s location in Greenville, North Carolina, and the government assumes responsibility for freight costs. The ordering activity is the DLA Land and Maritime, Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with Jeffrey Dixius listed as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn serving as the local administrative contact. Payment is processed electronically via Wide Area Workflow under DFARS 252.232-7003, with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service handling disbursement using payment code SL4701 and accounting identifier BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contract includes the FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay clause, enabling payment within 15 days of invoice submission, consistent with simplified acquisition procedures for commercial items. The order is designated as a Rated Order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), which mandates prioritized performance and reporting compliance. The awardee is certified as a small business and self-identifies as a Women-Owned Small Business. Packaging and marking instructions require compliance with a referenced schedule, mandating inclusion of manufacturer CAGE codes and part numbers on all packages, though no specific preservation, bar-coding, or military standard requirements are detailed. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, with acceptance contingent upon conformity to contract specifications. No formal contract type is specified, but it is administered as a delivery order under a broader contract vehicle. The absence of detailed clauses, attachments, or evaluation factors indicates this is an extremely low-dollar, streamlined acquisition governed primarily by basic terms and administrative directives, with no options or modifications beyond those already issued.
