BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the IDIQ contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement of 2,000 packages of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857846, Part Number EN93) at a total contract value of $17.74. The award, issued on July 21, 2026, was made using a simplified acquisition procedure under FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), with the basis of award being Lowest Price Technically Acceptable due to the minimal value and routine nature of the item. Delivery is required by July 28, 2026, to the U.S. Navy Branch Health Clinic at Patuxent River, Maryland, under FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the Government upon shipment. The contractor must ship the batteries via traceable methods—parcel post is prohibited—with packaging and marking that include the CAGE code 61637, NSN, and part number in compliance with DoD standards, though specific MIL-STD references are not stated. Invoicing must follow DFARS 252.232-7003 with Fast Pay Net 15 terms, and payments will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH. The Government retains final inspection and acceptance authority at the destination, and compliance is governed by DPAS (15 CFR 700) priority rating. The contract does not specify technical performance standards, quality inspection criteria beyond conformance to the contract, or special requirements such as security clearances or OCI provisions. Electronic submission and EDI capability are implied through the use of DIBBS and WAWF-like processes. The award supports DLA’s logistics mission under its Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with post-award administration coordinated through DLA Land and Maritime.
