BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for 209 units of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135015210378) at a firm-fixed price of $29.99 per unit, totaling $6,267.91. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning the contractor is responsible for making the goods available at its facility in Greenville, North Carolina, and the government assumes responsibility for freight and risk of loss from that point onward. The destination for delivery is Union, South Carolina, and inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination by government personnel. The contract incorporates Fast Pay provisions under FAR 52.213-1, enabling prompt payment within 15 days of invoice submission through the Wide Area Workflow system, and requires compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003 for electronic invoicing. The order is subject to the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) rating, mandating priority performance, and all shipments must be marked with the Transportation Control Number W91BL461970006 and RDD 555, using traceable courier methods—parcel post is prohibited. The contractor’s CAGE code and socioeconomic certifications are formally recognized, triggering compliance with small business subcontracting and WOSB program requirements under FAR Part 19. No specific technical, packaging, or preservation standards beyond contractual compliance are detailed, and while no formal Section I or J was identified, the acquisition follows a simplified procedure consistent with FAR Part 13, indicating a low-dollar-value commercial item purchase with no options or quantity flexibility. The contracting officer and payment liaison is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn, and all financial data references the accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189 and agency code 97AS.
