BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged and women-owned business, for the procurement of 54 units of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135015210378) at a total contract price of $1,619.46. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning ownership and risk transfer to the government upon shipment from the contractor’s facility. The place of delivery is Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and items must be shipped using traceable methods with BSM barcoded labeling and traceability control numbers per contract modifications, though no specific military packaging standards are cited. Payment is governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay Procedures) and DFARS 252.232-7003, requiring electronic invoice submission through approved channels and compliance with the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), which imposes performance priority obligations. The contract contains no options and has a fixed quantity with zero variance tolerance, confirming it as a firm-fixed-price transaction awarded under simplified acquisition procedures on a lowest-price technically acceptable basis. The awardee’s size and socioeconomic status were verified, and the government assumes responsibility for inspection and acceptance at the destination. Payment processing is managed by DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with no designated COR listed. The contract references multiple modifications but includes no formal Section H special requirements or Section L solicitation instructions, consistent with its streamlined nature as a low-value, non-complex supply line item under a basic IDIQ contract.
