BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M1-17-D-0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, a small disadvantaged women-owned business with CAGE code 4U407, for the procurement of 19 nonrechargeable batteries (NSN 6135009857846) at a total price of $168.53. The award was issued on July 21, 2026, with a required delivery date of July 24, 2026, to the U.S. Army SSA Powidz AB in Powidz, Poland, under FOB origin terms and government-furnished transportation. The order was processed as a low-dollar, single-line-item acquisition under the Fast Pay provision of FAR 52.213-1, reflecting a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach with no formal evaluation criteria or trade-off analysis. Compliance with DoD supply chain requirements mandates that all packaging and documentation be marked with the NSN and CAGE codes 4U407 and 19139, aligning implicitly with MIL-STD-129 for marking standards, though no explicit packaging or preservation specifications are detailed. The contracting officer, Jeffrey Dixius, is responsible for acceptance at destination, and payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at P.O. Box 182317, Columbus, OH. The order is DPAS-rated under 15 CFR 700 for national defense priority, and the awardee’s small, disadvantaged, women-owned business certifications are formally affirmed, triggering ongoing compliance obligations under FAR Part 19 and the SBA’s Women-Owned Small Business Federal Contract Program. All administrative functions are managed by DLA Land and Maritime’s Strategic ACO Program Directorate, with no identified Contracting Officer’s Representative or technical representative listed.
