BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small business designated as a Women-Owned and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement of two nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013336101) at a total contract value of $59.98. The award was issued on July 16, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to the Southwest Regional Maintenance Center in San Diego, California, with FOB origin terms meaning the government assumes freight costs. The order is a firm-fixed-price, single-line-item purchase with no quantity variance allowed. The contract incorporates federal acquisition regulations including FAR 52.213-1 for Fast Pay and DFARS 252.232-7003 for prompt payment processing, with invoices to be submitted electronically to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service via the designated remittance address in Columbus, Ohio. The item must be shipped using traceable means, excluding parcel post, and packaged with BSM barcoded labeling per government standards, though specific MIL-STD packaging or preservation requirements are not detailed. The government conducts inspection and acceptance at the destination, and the order is rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), mandating priority performance. The awardee’s small business and EDWOSB status trigger federal reporting obligations under Small Business Programs, and the contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius with post-award administration handled by Tiffany Lynn. No special contract requirements, key personnel, or security clearances are specified beyond standard FAR and DFARS compliance, and the award was made under a basic ordering agreement, suggesting an IDIQ structure.
