BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for the supply of 151 nonrechargeable batteries with NSN 6135011388157 at a total price of $11.62. The award, issued on July 5, 2026, represents a low-value, single-line item delivery under a simplified acquisition procedure, leveraging the Fast Pay clause FAR 52.213-1 and electronic invoice submission requirements per DFARS 252.232-7003. Delivery is required by July 8, 2026, to USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN 71) at FPO AP 96632 with FOB Origin terms, meaning the government assumes transportation costs and risk once the items leave the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The order is a rated priority under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS) per 15 CFR 700, necessitating expedited performance and compliance with federal allocation protocols. Packaging and shipping must comply with DLA procedures C19 and C20, prohibit the use of parcel post, and require labeling via the Vendor Shipment Module (VSM) with BSM identification as specified in referenced contract modifications including SPE7M117D0001P00014 and others. The contractor’s small business status is affirmed, but no additional socioeconomic designations are indicated. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701 and electronic data interchange, with no flexibility in quantity or pricing due to a 0% variance allowance. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and post-award administrative support is provided by Tiffany Lynn. No specific inspection criteria, preservation requirements, or MIL-STD standards are detailed in the award, though acceptance occurs at the destination under government authority. The base contract framework supports multiple delivery orders, and this transaction reflects routine fulfillment under an existing indefinite-delivery vehicle without competitive evaluation at the order level.
