BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER INC, with a CAGE code of 4U407, for the procurement of two nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135008264798) at a total contract value of $5.38, issued on July 31, 2026. The order is processed under FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), indicating it falls under simplified acquisition procedures, and payment will be made electronically via EDI through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701. The delivery is to be completed within seven calendar days, by August 7, 2026, with FOB ORIGIN terms and shipment directed to the Spratt House Building at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Although the line item lists quantity as 2.000 PG, which is likely a data error, the total amount reflects two units at $2.69 each, consistent with standard battery procurement. The contractor is certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned business, triggering compliance with federal socioeconomic reporting requirements and DPAS priority ratings under 15 CFR 700. Packaging must support traceable shipping methods and prohibit parcel post, with all packages and documentation marked using contract identifiers from Blocks 1 and 2 for full traceability. Inspection and acceptance are the Government’s responsibility at the destination, based on conformity to the contract and referenced specifications. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is listed, and administration is handled by DLA Land and Maritime, Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer. The contract contains no option periods, multiple line items, or explicit technical specifications beyond the NSN, and no formal Section H, M, or L provisions were included in the provided documentation, suggesting reliance on the underlying base contract and standard DoD procedures for supplemental requirements.
