BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, identified by CAGE code 4U407, for the procurement of five non-rechargeable batteries with NSN 6135-01-333-6101 at a total price of $149.95. The award, issued on July 16, 2026, under solicitation SPE7LX26F71Q6, falls under a simplified acquisition procedure governed by FAR 52.213-1 (Fast Pay), reflecting a lowest price technically acceptable approach with no variations permitted in quantity. Delivery is required by July 23, 2026, to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 14 at Cherry Point, North Carolina, with FOB Origin terms placing transportation responsibility and cost on the government after the contractor tenders the goods at the origin point. The contractor is certified as a small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business, with associated reporting obligations under federal socioeconomic programs. Packaging must adhere to traceable shipping methods only, explicitly prohibiting parcel post, and all shipments must be marked with the contract and delivery order numbers along with a Tracking Control Number. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination by the government, based solely on conformance to contract specifications without detailed technical standards cited. Payment will be processed electronically by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, using the appropriation code 97X4930 5CBX 001 2620 S33189, and the order is classified as DPAS priority level DO-PD1-7128, mandating prioritized production and delivery scheduling. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, with administration handled by the DLA Land and Maritime Strategic ACO Program Directorate, and no contracting officer’s representative is designated. The order is a fixed-price, non-option purchase with zero tolerance for quantity deviation, issued under a basic contract as a streamlined delivery order rather than a full competitive procurement.
