BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the base contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of 11 nonrechargeable batteries with NSN 6135008264798 at a unit price of $2.69, resulting in a total contract value of $29.59. The order was issued on July 14, 2026, with a delivery date of July 21, 2026, and requires shipment FOB Origin from the contractor’s location in Greenville, North Carolina, to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The contractor must use traceable shipping methods and prohibit parcel post, while all packages must be marked with the manufacturer’s CAGE code, part number, contract PIIN, and PID/PACK information in compliance with referenced modifications SPE7M117D0001P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032. The order is designated as a DPAS-rated "DO–D1" priority under 15 CFR 700, mandating prioritized performance for national defense needs. Fast Pay provisions under FAR 52.213-1 apply, enabling expedited electronic invoicing, likely through WAWF, with payment processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, and the contractor’s small business status triggers reporting obligations under FAR Part 19 and SBA requirements, though no other socioeconomic certifications or specific quality standards are explicitly defined in the order. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with Tiffany Lynn serving as the local administrative contact, and no contract modifications, options, or performance period beyond the delivery date are specified.
