BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the procurement of a single nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135013336101) at a total price of $29.99. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The contract is structured as a simplified acquisition under FAR 52.213-1, Fast Pay, enabling expedited electronic invoicing and payment through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, with payments remitted to P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH. Performance is governed by FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk transfer to the government upon delivery to the carrier, with the government assuming freight costs. Packaging and marking directives require all shipments to be labeled with the base contract number SPE7M117D0001 and the delivery order number SPE7LX26F71Q1, aligning with standard DoD shipment practices under MIL-STD-129, though no explicit packaging, preservation, or bar-code standards are detailed. The awardee’s small business certifications trigger compliance obligations under the SDB and WOSB programs, along with adherence to the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) for national defense supply prioritization. Inspection and acceptance are the government’s responsibility at the destination, with final sign-off required by an authorized representative, and no technical specifications or quality standards beyond contractual conformity are prescribed. The order is administered by the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the administrative contact. No amendments, options, special requirements, or additional clauses beyond Fast Pay and standard procurement terms are present, reflecting a straightforward, low-value transaction under a larger IDIQ vehicle.
