The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small business, for the procurement of nine nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013018776) at a total price of $30.78, with an award date of July 20, 2026, and a delivery deadline of July 27, 2026. The items are to be delivered FOB origin to Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, with government acceptance occurring at the destination, and payment is processed under the Fast Pay provision (FAR 52.213-1) using payment code SL4701 through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. The order is issued under a basic indefinite-delivery contract and is designated as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocation System (15 CFR 700), requiring priority handling. Packaging must be traceable with no use of parcel post, and all shipments must bear the BSM identification, payment code, and unique traceability identifier FB480362010093 to ensure end-to-end visibility. Shipping and labeling requirements imply compliance with military standards such as MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, even though these are not explicitly cited. Invoicing must follow DFARS 252.232-7003, and the contract is administered by DLA Land and Maritime with point of contact Jeffrey Dixius. The award was made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis due to the commercial nature and minimal value of the item, with no technical evaluation or past performance assessment documented. The contractor’s small business status is confirmed, but no other socioeconomic designations apply. No formal contract clauses, attachments, special requirements, or distinct evaluation factors beyond administrative and delivery terms are specified in the available documentation.
