The Defense Logistics Agency awarded a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery contract to Battery Outlet, Inc. under solicitation SPE7L126F060R, with a total contract value cap of $250,000 and a base period of one year plus two one-year options. The contract centers on the procurement of non-spillable storage batteries identified by NSN 6140-01-389-6178, with tiered unit pricing depending on order quantity, ranging from $79.90 to $97.24 per unit across base and option years. The delivery order SPE7L425D5002 specifies a delivery-to-FOB-origin date of September 17, 2026, and all performance occurs at the contractor’s facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. Inspection and acceptance are conducted at origin by Government representatives, including DCMA, with mandatory compliance to MIL-STD-2073-1E for packaging and preservation, MIL-STD-129R for marking and barcoding, and MIL-STD-130N for identification. Batteries must be labeled “NON-SPILLABLE” per 49 CFR §173.159a and accompanied by hazard warning labels compliant with 29 CFR 1910.1200, alongside a Certificate of Conformance. The contract mandates electronic invoicing through WAWF and adheres to strict preservation protocols including a 12-month Type I shelf life marked by SPECIAL MARKING CODE 32. The evaluation process prioritizes past performance, offered delivery, and price in a best-value trade-off framework, not LPTA. Special requirements under H-252.223-7001 compel pre-award submission of hazard labels and MSDS for non-exempt materials, and FAR clauses covering cybersecurity, whistleblower protections, subcontractor debarment, trafficking in persons, and equal opportunity are fully incorporated. The contractor’s CAGE code is 0FGN2, and the procuring officer is Patrick Sikorski, with no designated COR or COTR listed. Appropriate representation of small business status and socioeconomic certifications is required, but no confirmations are provided in the documentation.
