BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407) for the procurement of two non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135008264798) at a total contract value of $5.38, with award issued on July 20, 2026, and delivery required by July 23, 2026. The order, issued under simplified acquisition procedures, is classified as a low-value shipment requiring delivery FOB origin to a designated Department of Defense facility in San Antonio, Texas, with the government assuming responsibility for transportation costs. The contractor, certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, must comply with Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) requirements, ensuring priority performance over non-rated orders. Payment is governed by FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay provisions, enabling expedited processing upon acceptance, with payment routed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, Ohio. Inspection and acceptance occur at destination, and all packaging must use the fastest traceable means of shipment—parcel post is explicitly prohibited—with proper labeling including contract identification numbers from Blocks 1 and 2 to ensure traceability. No specific MIL-STD packaging standards, bar-coding requirements, or technical performance specifications beyond basic compliance with the NSN are detailed, and no formal evaluation factors, contract type designation, or detailed inspection criteria beyond conformity to contract requirements were provided. The order was issued via the DIBBS platform under a larger multiple-award contract vehicle, with administrative oversight handled by DLA Land and Maritime’s Strategic ACO Program Directorate, and official correspondence directed to their postaward office.
