BATTERY POWER SUPPLY

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Tesla Industries Inc a delivery order under the base contract SPE7LX22D5016 for the procurement of a single battery power supply, NSN 6130-01-475-5321, with a total contract price of $8,500.94. The award date was July 31, 2026, and delivery is scheduled for August 31, 2026, with the item to be shipped to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, under FOB Origin terms. The contractor, identified by CAGE code 0VWE2, is certified as a Women-Owned Small Business and a Disadvantaged Business, with the acquisition set aside exclusively for WOSB participants. The order is executed under a firm-fixed-price RFQ format, consistent with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methodology, where technical acceptability is contingent on compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity standards, requiring a valid Summary Level Score in the Supplier Performance Risk System. Failure to provide this score may render the contractor ineligible. The contract incorporates mandatory clauses for ocean transportation, mandating use of U.S.-flag vessels unless prior written consent is obtained, with strict reporting requirements for any foreign-flag vessel use. Packaging and marking requirements are governed by Attachment #4, which mandates traceable shipping methods and explicitly prohibits parcel post, though full details of labeling and barcoding remain inaccessible. All invoices must be submitted to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Columbus, Ohio, following DFARS 252.232-7003 guidelines, with no explicit requirement for electronic submission systems. The contract includes cybersecurity compliance under DFARS 252.204-7009 and 252.204-7019, treating any NIST assessment data as Controlled Unclassified Information. Inspection and acceptance occur at the destination, conducted by the government, and all deliverables must conform to contractual terms, specifications, and incorporated regulatory standards. While the base contract has a potential maximum value exceeding $5 million, this specific delivery order is limited to the single unit of battery power supply, with no indication of other line items being fulfilled under this award. The contracting officer, Linda Crew, and administrative officer, Megan Saylor, serve as primary points of contact, though no Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified in the document.
