BATTERY, NONRECHARGEABLE

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order under contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc, CAGE 4U407, a women-owned small business, for the procurement of two nonrechargeable batteries, NSN 6135009002139, at a total value of $22.74. The award was issued on July 14, 2026, with delivery required by July 17, 2026, under FOB origin terms, meaning the contractor is responsible for delivering the items to the carrier at its facility in Greenville, North Carolina, while the government assumes all transportation costs and risks from that point forward. The destination is the Undersea Rescue Command in San Diego, California, with an alternate shipping address provided. The order is designated as a DPAS-rated priority under 15 CFR 700, requiring accelerated performance over non-rated work. Invoices must be submitted electronically via Wide Area Workflow in accordance with DFARS 252.232-7003, and the contract includes the Fast Pay clause (FAR 52.213-1) to enable prompt payment to small business contractors. Packaging and marking requirements mandate that each package be labeled with the Transportation Control Number R3211761957612 and the Required Delivery Date 777, with all shipments required to be sent via the fastest traceable means—parcel post is explicitly prohibited. Acceptance of goods occurs at the destination by an authorized government representative, and compliance is based strictly on adherence to the contract-specified NSN and referenced clauses, with no additional technical specifications or quality standards cited. The contracting officer is Jeffrey Dixius, and administrative support is provided by Tiffany Lynn at DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with payment processed through SL4701 and remitted to a Columbus-based government account. The contractor’s small business and women-owned status trigger federal reporting requirements under FAR Parts 19 and 19.15.
