BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. with CAGE code 4U407 for one nonrechargeable battery with NSN 6135012108715 at a total value of $0.66. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 17, 2026, under the delivery order number SPE7LX26F70F1. The contract is classified as a small business set-aside, with the awardee certified as a Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Business, triggering compliance obligations under FAR 19.1002 and FAR 19.1504 for socioeconomic verification. The delivery is FOB ORIGIN, meaning the contractor bears responsibility for shipment until goods reach the origin point in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes all subsequent transportation costs. The item must be shipped using the fastest traceable method, with parcel post explicitly prohibited, and delivered to USS CAPE ST GEORGE CG 71 at FPO AP 96662. All packaging and documentation must be clearly marked with the contract and delivery order numbers and the transportation control number R218286195EM29, with a required delivery date of 777. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, and payment is processed via Electronic Data Interchange using the remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. The contract incorporates FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), enabling expedited payment upon delivery, and is designated as a rated order under DPAS (15 CFR 700), requiring prioritized performance. The underlying contract vehicle is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with firm fixed-price terms, and the award was likely made under lowest price technically acceptable criteria due to the micro-purchase level of spending. No specific military packaging or marking standards are cited, though compliance with DoD logistics procedures is implied. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and no contracting officer’s representative is identified. Modifications to the base contract include P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032, and prior references to contract SPE7M1-16-D-0003 indicate
