BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency issued a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER CAGE 4U407 for the procurement of 10 nonrechargeable batteries with part number 6135015210378 at a total contract value of $299.90. The award was posted on July 16, 2026, and delivery is required by July 20, 2026, to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This is a simplified acquisition under a fixed-price arrangement with FAST PAY provisions applied as per FAR 52.213-1, enabling expedited payment processing for commercial items. The contractor is designated as a small business with additional socioeconomic certifications including disadvantaged and women-owned status. The order includes FOB Origin terms with government-funded transportation, meaning the government assumes responsibility for freight costs and assumes title and risk of loss upon shipment from the contractor’s location. All shipments must use the fastest traceable means, with parcel post prohibited, and packages must be marked with the contract and purchase order identifiers from Blocks 1 and 2, along with the full destination address per MARKFOR instructions. Inspection and acceptance are the government’s responsibility at the delivery point and are based solely on conformance to contract requirements. No detailed technical specifications or performance standards are provided beyond the item description, and no specific packaging, preservation, or barcoding standards are explicitly cited, though logistics compliance is implied through traceability mandates. The payment office is the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with Tiffany Lynn as the local administrative contact. The base contract is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle, and this order is one of several modifications under SPE7M1-17-D-0001. The contract includes no option periods, subcontracting requirements, or security clearances, reflecting its minimal scope and straightforward logistical execution.
