BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency awarded a low-value delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a small business representing itself as a Women-Owned Small Business, for the procurement of one nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135012108715) at a total price of $0.66. The award, issued on July 14, 2026, is classified as a fast-pay transaction under FAR 52.213-1 and falls under simplified acquisition procedures, indicating a non-competitive, direct award likely based on low price technically acceptable criteria. Performance requires delivery of the single unit to the USS CAPE ST GEORGE CG 71 at FPO AP 96662, with FOB Origin terms placing transportation responsibility and risk on the government from the point of origin. The contractor must comply with DPAS-rated order requirements per 15 CFR 700, ensure packaging meets traceable shipping standards excluding parcel post, apply BSM bar-coded identifiers to shipments, and submit invoices electronically in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003 through EDI systems. Payment is administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service under code SL4701, with invoicing directed to the DLA Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio. The contract explicitly references modifications P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032 to the base contract and relies on supplementary documentation such as the Unit_of_Issue_and_Purchase_Unit.xlsx file to define commercial packaging and unit metrics. No formal contract clauses, special requirements, or evaluation factors beyond standard compliance and administrative controls are detailed, and the acquisition is treated as a single-delivery, non-recurring requirement with no options or extended performance period.
