BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business, for the supply of two nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013336101), with a total contract value of $59.98. The order, issued on July 15, 2026, under solicitation SPE7LX26F71B3, specifies FOB origin delivery terms and requires shipment via traceable carrier—parcel post is explicitly prohibited—with all packages marked with the military facility identifier W506K1, delivery point W8FR HQ 185TH REGT, and a Transaction Control Number. Delivery must be completed by July 22, 2026, at the destination in Johnston, Iowa, where government representatives will inspect and accept the items. The contract incorporates FAR 52.213-1, Fast Pay Procedures, enabling expedited payment, and is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) per 15 CFR 700, requiring priority performance. Payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using electronic invoicing, though the specific system is not named. The awardee’s socioeconomic designations trigger reporting obligations under FAR Part 19, and all items must conform strictly to contract specifications with no variance permitted in quantity or pricing. No formal listing of contract clauses beyond Fast Pay is provided, and no MIL-STDs or detailed packaging standards are cited, though general DoD logistics compliance is expected. The base contract is referenced as having been modified through several amendments, and the order lacks any option quantities, technical specifications beyond the NSN, or identified contracting officer’s representative.
