BATTERY, STORAGE

Contract SPE7M026P2446 was a firm fixed price delivery order issued on April 14, 2026, by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime Fluid Handling Division to Chicago Parts & Sound Enterprises, a women-owned small business. The contract was for the procurement of 24 storage batteries (NSN 6140-01-117-9646) at a unit price of 21.47 dollars, totaling 515.28 dollars. The items were designated for delivery to the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, with a requested delivery date of May 4, 2026. The order was rated under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System for expedited delivery. The contract included stringent requirements for packaging and marking per MIL-STD-2073-1E and MIL-STD-129, specifically noting a non-extendable six-month shelf life. Administrative requirements mandated invoicing through the Wide Area WorkFlow system and compliance with NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity standards, including a 72-hour window for reporting cyber incidents via the DIBNet portal. However, on June 30, 2026, the government issued Modification P00001, which unilaterally cancelled the entire award for the storage batteries at no cost or liability to either party, reducing the total contract value to zero.
