The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a delivery order under the basic contract SPE7M117D0001 to Eastern Carolina Vocational Center Inc. with CAGE code 4U407 for the procurement of two units of Battery, Storage (NSN 6140015450940) at a total contract value of $937.28. The award was issued on July 18, 2026, with delivery required by September 1, 2026, under FOB destination terms, though a discrepancy exists between the Block 8 FOB notation and the CLIN-level instruction indicating origin. The order is classified as a rated priority under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System, mandating expedited handling, and includes the Fast Pay clause 52.213-1, which enables prompt payment processing upon delivery and acceptance. The contractor is identified as a Small Disadvantaged Women-Owned Business, triggering compliance with FAR Part 19.7 and SBA certification requirements, including ongoing affirmative reporting and eligibility verification. All shipments must be sent by traceable means, with parcel post prohibited, and every package and accompanying documentation must include the Transaction Control Number (TCN) and identification from Blocks 1 and 2 as specified in contract modifications. Inspection and acceptance are performed by the Government at the destination, with conformity to contract requirements being the sole criterion for acceptance. Payment will be processed by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service at the address in Columbus, Ohio, using the SL4701 payment code, with the contracting officer being Jeffrey Dixius. Packaging, preservation, and marking standards are not explicitly detailed here but are referenced as being defined in accompanying contract modifications such as SPE7M117D0001P00014. The underlying contract is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicle, and while the current order has no option quantities or extensions, its structure allows for future orders under the same framework. Technical specifications, MIL-STD references, and quality testing criteria are not provided in the current documentation, and no Contracting Officer’s Representative has been identified.
