This contract represents a delivery order under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The delivery order procures non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, specifically AAA size with stringent quality and shelf-life requirements, intended for use in various federal applications. The award exemplifies a significant procurement facilitating critical supply chain support for the federal government while reinforcing NIB's role in advancing inclusive employment through government contracting. The scope includes delivery of packaged batteries meeting defined voltage, packaging, and expiration standards. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis, consistent with the parent IDIQ award strategy to leverage NIB's unique capabilities. Scheduled for performance over a short timeframe in mid-2026, this delivery order builds upon the well-established IDIQ vehicle valued at several hundred million dollars, underscoring a continued partnership supporting military and civilian federal customers efficiently.
