BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M1-17-D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center (CAGE 4U407), a small business certified as both a Small Disadvantaged Business and a Women-Owned Business, for the procurement of three nonrechargeable batteries with NSN 6135013336101 at a total price of $89.97. The order, issued under solicitation SPE7LX26F74P9 and awarded on July 20, 2026, is governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), streamlining payment processing through expedited voucher systems, and includes a delivery deadline of July 23, 2026, to Fort Myer, Virginia, with FOB origin shipping terms despite conflicting references to destination FOB. All packages must be marked with the contract and delivery order numbers and include the Tracking Control Number W90X0162020002, with shipping restricted to the fastest traceable means—parcel post is prohibited—and no specific preservation, packaging, or MIL-STD requirements are detailed. The contractor’s socioeconomic status triggers compliance with FAR Part 19 and DFARS Subpart 219.7 reporting obligations, and the order carries a DPAS rating under 15 CFR 700, affording it priority status. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination point by the Government, with no named Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical liaison provided. Payment is processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using payment code SL4701, with accounting data identified by AAC/TAS/ACRN BX: 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189. The award was likely based on lowest-priced technically acceptable criteria due to the minimal value and simplified acquisition procedures, with no formal evaluation factors or competitive scoring documented. Amendments P00014, P00020, P00021, and P00032 to the base contract are referenced, though their content is not disclosed.
