BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business certified as both a Small Disadvantaged Business and a Women-Owned Business, for the procurement of 24 nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135012108715) at a total contracted value of $15.84. The order, issued on July 31, 2026, with delivery required by August 3, 2026, operates under simplified acquisition procedures governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), enabling immediate payment upon government acceptance without requiring a formal invoice. Delivery is FOB origin with government-controlled freight responsibility, and the items are to be delivered to the U.S. military installation at FPO AP 96349 in Yokosuka, Japan, with inspection and acceptance performed at the destination. The contractor is subject to Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) regulations, mandating priority performance over non-rated orders. Packaging and marking requirements reference the base contract and include mandatory use of the delivery order number SPE7LX26F85X7 and the NSN for identification; however, no specific MIL-STD packaging or labeling standards are cited. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius of the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with payment processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, under the appropriation code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, or attachments are documented in the award notice, consistent with the low-dollar, streamlined nature of the transaction. Pre-award surveys were waived, and no contract options or technical specifications beyond the NSN are provided, indicating a routine replenishment purchase under an existing indefinite-delivery vehicle.
