BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for the procurement of one nonrechargeable battery, part number 6135009002139, at a total value of $11.37. The order, issued on July 31, 2026, with a required delivery date of August 3, 2026, was processed under simplified acquisition procedures via FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay, indicating a low-dollar-value transaction handled through expedited payment protocols without formal evaluation factors or trade-off analysis. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price delivery order with no optional quantities, and the item is to be delivered FOB Origin, meaning the Government assumes responsibility for transportation costs and risks once the item leaves the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, with final acceptance occurring at the delivery point: Assault Craft Unit One, Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, San Diego, California. Packaging and marking requirements mandate traceable shipment via the fastest available means, explicitly prohibiting parcel post, and require all packages and documents to be labeled with the RDD number 777 SHIPMENT and the TCN R5325762121064, though no specific military standards for labeling or preservation are cited. The order is classified as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), requiring prioritization over non-rated tasks. Payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the SL4701 payment code and traditional voucher-based methods, despite the Fast Pay clause. The awardee is confirmed as a small business, and no socioeconomic beyond small business status is verified. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is listed, and contract administration is overseen by Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn. While the basic contract and its modifications provide overarching terms, no formal Statement of Work, technical specifications, inspection criteria, or detailed packaging standards beyond traceability and shipping instructions are included in the documentation.
