BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for a single nonrechargeable battery with NSN 6135012108715 at a total price of $0.66. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, through the DIBBS portal under a simplified acquisition procedure governed by FAR 52.213-1, Fast Payment, and is classified as a rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System (15 CFR 700). The delivery is required by July 17, 2026, with FOB origin terms meaning the government assumes responsibility upon shipment from the contractor’s location in Greenville, North Carolina, to the delivery point aboard the USS Cape St. George at FPO AP 96662. The contract specifies packaging and marking requirements aligned with DLA procedures, mandating the use of the Vendor Shipping Module for barcoded labels and inclusion of contract and modification identifiers such as SPE7M117D0001P00014 and P00020 on all shipments, while explicitly prohibiting parcel post. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via WAWF in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, and payment will be processed through the Defense Finance and Accounting Service using the payment code SL4701, with invoices mailed to PO Box 3990 in Columbus, Ohio. The awardee is recognized as a small business, and while no formal evaluation factors, contracting officer’s representative, or detailed quality standards were specified, the order’s minimal value and use of Fast Pay indicate a streamlined procurement process relying on adherence to basic contractual and logistical requirements. The battery item falls under NAICS code 335910, and compliance with applicable DoD supply chain standards, including potential references to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073, is implied through reference to DLA directives and the nature of the end-use environment.
