The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, with a total contract value of just $0.66, for the delivery of one nonrechargeable battery identified by NSN 6135012108715. The award was issued on July 19, 2026, with delivery mandated for July 22, 2026, to the USS PAUL IGNATIUS (DDG-117), FPO AA 34087, under FOB ORIGIN terms, meaning title and risk transfer at the contractor’s origin in Greenville, North Carolina. The order is processed under FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay provisions, enabling expedited payment through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at Columbus, Ohio, and is classified as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System with a DPAS rating of DO-C9, indicating high urgency for national defense purposes. The awardee is certified as a Small Disadvantaged Business and a Women-Owned Small Business, and the acquisition, though minimal in value, is conducted under a basic indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract vehicle with prior modifications referenced to ensure current technical and packaging compliance. Packaging and marking must adhere strictly to the delivery order number SPE7LX26F73N2 and base contract SPE7M117D0001 for traceability, though no specific MIL-STD packaging standards are cited, reliance is placed on standard DLA logistics procedures. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the Government, and payment is tied to successful delivery and verification against the contract’s single line item, with no options or quantity variance permitted. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative oversight handled by DLA Land Post-Award Administration, and no contracting officer’s representative or technical officer is designated. The contract contains no detailed technical specifications, quality standards beyond conformity to the order, or formal clauses in Section I, and no attachments or solicitation instructions are included, reflecting a streamlined, low-value procurement executed under established procurement authorities to support immediate operational needs.
