BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged woman-owned business, for one nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135009002139) at a total price of $11.37. The order was issued on July 16, 2026, with a strict delivery deadline of July 20, 2026, and requires shipment FOB origin to USS TOLEDO (SSN 769) at FPO AP 96692, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination. The acquisition falls under simplified procedures via FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay, enabling expedited payment for the small business contractor. The item must be labeled with the contract number, delivery order number, NSN, CAGE code, and PR number, and is expected to comply with standard DoD packaging and marking protocols, including implied adherence to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, though not explicitly cited. The contract includes a DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, affirming its critical nature, and requires compliance with ANSI X12 unit of issue codes and DLA procedural notes C19 and C20. Payment is processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service through remittance to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH, with electronic invoicing implied through EDI and voucher references. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn, though no COR or COTR is named. The base contract is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity vehicle with multiple amendments affecting packaging and item identification. No options, additional line items, or performance incentives are included, and the award reflects a direct, non-competitive procurement consistent with its nominal value and urgent delivery schedule.
