BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for 36 pounds of nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009002139) at a total price of $409.32, delivered under the simplified acquisition procedures of FAR 52.213-1. The award, issued on July 20, 2026, and effective immediately, specifies delivery to Fort Stewart, Georgia, with a required delivery date of July 27, 2026. Payment terms are Fast Pay Net 15, with invoicing required electronically through Wide Area Workflow in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003 and directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using payment code SL4701 and accounting code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The order carries a DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, indicating national defense urgency, and requires traceable shipment via commercial carriers—parcel post is expressly prohibited—with all packages marked with BSM barcodes, SHIP TO CODE, PAYMENT CODE SL4701, and MARKFOR designation to ensure traceability throughout the DoD supply chain. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, with the Government responsible for verifying conformance to contract specifications, though no technical standards for the battery’s performance, chemistry, or shelf life are detailed. Packaging and preservation details are referenced through unprovided contract modifications, and while MIL-STD-129 is implicitly required for marking, no specific standards are cited. The contract contains no options, modifications beyond those referenced for logistics, or identified COR/COTR, and no formal Section K representations or attachments were included. The procurement is classified as a fixed-price, sole-source action consistent with LPTA principles due to its low value and streamlined nature.
