BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a Women-Owned Small Business, for the purchase of one non-rechargeable battery (NSN 6135012108715) at a total contract price of $0.66. The order was issued on July 14, 2026, through the DIBBS portal, and delivery is scheduled for July 17, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning the government assumes responsibility for transportation and risk of loss once the item leaves the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The final destination is the USS Cape St George (FPO AP 96662), where inspection and acceptance will occur. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF), with no paper submissions allowed, and payment will be processed under DFARS 252.232-7003 and Fast Pay procedures through the payment code SL4701, remitting to Columbus, Ohio. The contract falls under simplified acquisition procedures and is designated as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (DPAS), granting it priority status for performance and delivery. Shipment must use the fastest traceable transportation method, explicitly prohibiting parcel post. Packaging and preservation requirements are not detailed in the award but are presumed to follow referenced modifications to the base contract. The contractor’s small business and women-owned status are affirmed, triggering compliance with FAR 19.15 reporting obligations. The base contract is of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity nature, though this specific order is a single-line-item purchase with no options or variants. Administrative contact for post-award matters is Tiffany Lynn at DLA Land and Maritime, while Jeffrey Dixius serves as the contracting officer. No specific quality standards, MIL-STDs, or barcoding requirements are cited, and no formal clause listings under Section I are provided, but the award operates under incorporated clauses from the base contract, including Fast Pay and DPAS authority, with all performance requirements tied to adherence to government specifications, official unit of issue standards, and delivery instructions.
