BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business with CAGE code 4U407, for two non-rechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009002139, P/N 1604A, EN22) at a total price of $22.74, or $11.37 per unit. The order, issued on July 15, 2026, has a strict delivery deadline of July 22, 2026, with shipment required FOB origin from the contractor’s facility in Greenville, North Carolina, to the USNS MERCY hospital ship at FPO AP 96672-4090. Title and risk of loss transfer to the government upon shipment, while inspection and acceptance occur upon arrival at the destination. The procurement was conducted under simplified acquisition procedures using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with Fast Pay terms applied per FAR 52.213-1 to expedite payment through electronic invoicing systems. Payment will be processed by DEF FIN AND ACCOUNTING SVC in Columbus, Ohio, against accounting code BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The order is designated as a rated priority under DPAS (15 CFR 700), and all shipments must use traceable means—parcel post is prohibited—with packages marked to meet DoD logistics standards. The contractor’s status as a small disadvantaged and women-owned small business triggers compliance reporting obligations under federal small business programs, and the item is procured as a standard commercial item with no technical evaluation required beyond conformance to the NSN and federal specifications. No additional clauses, attachments, or detailed inspection criteria beyond contract conformity are specified, reflecting a streamlined, low-value commodity acquisition.
