BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to EASTERN CAROLINA VOCATIONAL CENTER INC, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for 30 nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135012633611) at a unit price of $1.44, resulting in a total contract value of $43.20. The award date was July 14, 2026, with delivery required by July 21, 2026, to Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, under FOB Origin terms, meaning title and risk of loss transfer to the government at the contractor’s location and the government bears freight costs. The contract is classified as a low-dollar, simplified acquisition with no options or quantity variances, structured under an indefinite-delivery vehicle and designated as a DPAS-rated order under 15 CFR 700, indicating national defense priority. All packaging and shipping must use traceable methods, explicitly prohibiting parcel post, and require a Traceable Control Number, with markings aligned to a separate schedule and no shipment allowed to the address on the contract page. The contractor is certified as a Women-Owned Small Business, triggering compliance with SBA regulations and eligibility under the WOSB program, and the order falls under the small business category. Payment is governed by FAR 52.213-1 for Fast Pay and DFARS 252.232-7003, mandating electronic invoicing via WAWF to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at PO Box 3990, Columbus, OH, with the payment office code SL4701. Acceptance occurs at the destination and is based on conformity with contract requirements, with no specified technical inspection standards beyond regulatory compliance. The contract references multiple modifications to the base contract and past PIINs, suggesting an evolving procurement history. No formal Section I clauses, list of attachments, or detailed packaging specifications are provided; instead, standards are incorporated by reference through updated PID/PACK documentation and implied DoD regulations. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administrative support provided by Tiffany Lynn, and no COR or COTR is designated. This transaction reflects a routine, low-value supply order emphasizing administrative adherence, rapid payment, and traceable logistics rather than complex technical or performance criteria.
