BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. (CAGE 4U407) for six units of nonrechargeable battery (NSN 6135008264798) at a total price of $16.14, with an award date of July 20, 2026, and a delivery deadline of July 27, 2026. The item is classified as a commercial product under NAICS code 335910, procured through a simplified acquisition process, with payment governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay Net 15) and invoicing required through the Wide Area WorkFlow system under DFARS 252.232-7003. The contractor is located in Greenville, North Carolina, and delivery is FOB origin, meaning the government assumes all transportation costs and risks upon shipment from the contractor’s facility to Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The contract includes a DPAS rating of DO–C1 under 15 CFR 700, affirming its priority status for material allocation and performance scheduling. The awardee is certified as a small business with no other socioeconomic designations specified, and the contract requires compliance with FAR and DFARS clauses related to fast payment, electronic invoicing, and defense priorities. The delivery order references multiple modifications to the base contract and mandates adherence to specific packaging, marking, and preservation requirements as outlined in the associated schedule, though those details are not included in the provided documentation. Packaging must include proper identification markings such as NSN, CAGE code, and current contract PIIN, and compliance with MIL-STD-129R and MIL-STD-2073 is implied but not explicitly stated. Inspection and acceptance are conducted by the government at the destination point, with no formal quality standards listed beyond contractual conformity. Contract administration is managed by Jeffrey Dixius as the contracting officer and Tiffany Lynn as the local administrative point of contact, with no designated COR or COTR identified. The acquisition reflects a highly streamlined, single-line-item transaction with no options or extension provisions, consistent with low-dollar-value procurements under simplified acquisition procedures, and no evaluation factors or competitive bidding process are documented, indicating it was likely issued to a sole qualified source.
