BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, Inc. (CAGE 4U407), a women-owned small business, for the delivery of 19 packages of non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135015210378) at a total contract value of $569.81. The award was issued on August 1, 2026, and delivery is required by August 10, 2026, with FOB origin terms meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government at the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes responsibility for transportation to the destination at DLA Troop Support in New Orleans, Louisiana. The contract employs Fast Pay procedures under FAR 52.213-1 and requires electronic invoicing per DFARS 252.232-7003, with payment processed through Defense Finance and Accounting Service using the payment code SL4701. The item is subject to a DPAS rating under 15 CFR 700, mandating priority performance compliance, and all packages must be marked with BSM identifiers and transportation control numbers for traceability, though no specific packaging or preservation standards from MIL-STD documents are cited in the available data. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, and no performance testing, quality metrics, or additional clauses are specified beyond those governing payment, delivery, and socioeconomic compliance. The contract’s small dollar value and sole-line-item nature indicate a streamlined procurement conducted under simplified acquisition procedures, with no options, modifications affecting the scope, or additional contractor certifications beyond small business and women-owned status.
