BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a single-line delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, a woman-owned small business with CAGE code 4U407, for one nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135012108715) at a total price of $0.66. The award, issued on July 14, 2026, is classified as a firm-fixed-price transaction governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), which mandates simplified acquisition procedures and prompt electronic payment through WAWF. The battery must be shipped FOB origin from the contractor’s location in Greenville, North Carolina, to the USS Cape St. George (CG 71) at FPO AP 96662 with delivery required by July 17, 2026. The government assumes title and transportation costs upon shipment, and acceptance occurs at the destination. Packaging and labeling must comply with DLA standards, including the use of BSM barcodes, RDD 777 identifiers, and the Vendor Shipment Module for traceability, while parcel post is explicitly prohibited. The order carries a DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, requiring expedited performance, and payment is administered through the DLA Land and Maritime office using code SL4701 with accounting data tied to appropriation BX 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. No technical specifications beyond the NSN are provided, and the transaction appears to serve as a minimal-value administrative or logistical test with full compliance focused on traceable delivery, electronic invoicing, and socioeconomic certification maintenance.
