BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135013018776, part number XL-060F) at a unit price of $3.42, resulting in a total contract value of $3.42. The order, issued on July 16, 2026, is classified as a low-value commercial item acquisition processed under the Fast Pay clause (FAR 52.213-1), enabling expedited payment upon delivery. Delivery is required FOB origin by July 20, 2026, to the Fleet Post Office address for USS JACKSON LCS 6, with the government responsible for transportation and inspection at destination. The contract is a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700), prioritizing its fulfillment. Packaging must be shipped via traceable means—parcel post is prohibited—and all items and documentation must be clearly marked with the base contract number SPE7M1-17-D-0001 and the delivery order number SPE7LX26F72K6. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701, with administrative support provided by DLA Land and Maritime. No specific technical specifications, MIL-STD packaging standards, or inspection criteria beyond conformance to contract requirements are detailed, and the procurement reflects a streamlined, no-compete acquisition consistent with a Low Price Technically Acceptable approach given the minimal dollar value and commercial nature of the item. The awardee's small business status is affirmed, and no other socioeconomic designations are claimed. The order is one of multiple modifications to the underlying IDIQ contract, indicating an ongoing supply agreement for non-rechargeable batteries under DLA’s strategic acquisition framework.
