BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407) for five non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009002139) at a total price of $56.85, with an award date of July 21, 2026. The order, issued under solicitation SPE7LX26F75L0, is structured as a simplified acquisition using FAR 52.213-1 Fast Pay provisions, enabling expedited payment upon delivery and acceptance without a formal invoice. Delivery is required by July 28, 2026, to a military address in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, under FOB Origin terms, meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation costs and risk once the items leave the contractor’s facility. The contractor is certified as a Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, and Women-Owned Small Business, triggering reporting obligations under FAR 19.7 and 19.1001, and the order carries a DPAS priority rating under 15 CFR 700, mandating expedited handling and compliance with federal allocation protocols. Packaging and shipping must utilize traceable methods with a Traceable Control Number (TCN W90HPG62020004), and parcel post is prohibited. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination in Saint Cloud, MN, with government personnel certifying conformity to contract requirements. The unit of issue and purchase details are referenced via an attached Excel file, and while no specific MIL-STD packaging or preservation standards are cited, compliance with underlying base contract terms and federal logistics guidelines is implied. Payment is administered by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, with remittance to Columbus, Ohio, and award transmission conducted via EDI. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and administrative support is provided by Tiffany Lynn. No COR/COTR is named, and while the base contract appears to be an IDIQ or BPA, no formal contract type is specified. The acquisition was made at the lowest price, suggesting an LPTA approach, though no formal evaluation factors or technical acceptability documentation is provided, consistent with the streamlined nature of this low-value procurement.
