BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order worth $3.42 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER INC, a Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business with CAGE code 4U407, for one nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135013018776) under contract SPE7LX26F72K7, issued as a line item under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001. The award was made on July 16, 2026, with delivery required by July 20, 2026, to the FPO address of USS JACKSON LCS 6, unit 100231 box 1, FPO AP 96692, using the fastest traceable means—parcel post is explicitly prohibited. The contract is firm-fixed-price, governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), and qualifies as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS). Packaging and marking must include the delivery order number and basic contract number in block letters, though no specific MIL-STDs are cited. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by government representatives, with no variance permitted in quantity—an exact delivery of one unit is required. Payment will be processed electronically by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the provided budget code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with no designated contracting officer’s representative listed. The contractor’s socioeconomic certifications trigger compliance obligations under Small Business Subcontracting and Women-Owned Small Business programs, requiring ongoing verification through SAM.gov and potential audit. The order contains no options, additional line items, or detailed technical specifications beyond the NSN and unit of issue, reflecting a simplified acquisition for a low-dollar commercial item.
