BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER (CAGE 4U407), a small, women-owned business, for the supply of 50 non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135013018776) at a unit price of $3.42, totaling $171.00. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, under simplified acquisition procedures, reflecting a low-value, commercial item purchase executed as a Fast Pay transaction under FAR 52.213-1 with Net 15 payment terms. Delivery is scheduled for July 28, 2026, with FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer at the contractor’s location in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes transportation costs and accepts delivery at the designated destination in Peoria, Illinois. The contract requires traceable shipping methods, prohibits parcel post, and mandates electronic invoicing through Wide Area WorkFlow in compliance with DFARS 252.232-7003. The item must conform to government specifications for form, fit, and function, and acceptance will occur at the destination by government representatives. The award includes a Defense Priorities and Allocations System rating, granting the order priority status under 15 CFR 700, and the vendor must maintain compliance with small business and women-owned certifications, including potential subcontracting reporting obligations. Payment processing is directed to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, with remittance sent to the contractor’s address in Greenville, and administrative oversight is handled by Jeffrey Dixius and Tiffany Lynn of the DLA Land and Maritime office. No formal Section I clauses, packaging standards like MIL-STD-129, or evaluation factors beyond LPTA were explicitly documented, reflecting the streamlined nature of the procurement.
