Delivery Order #47QSSC26F82KD

Multi-Year IDIQ Knife Procurement Delivered to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order under a broader indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a nonprofit organization that promotes employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is the recipient of this contract. The specific procurement involves the supply of stamped 12-inch blade cook's knives, compliant with a designated military specification, intended for federal use. This contract supports the agency's ongoing commitment to sourcing quality tools while endorsing social responsibility by engaging a vendor dedicated to empowering disabled individuals. The recent delivery order represents a small but vital portion of the substantial, multi-year contract valued at approximately $800 million, facilitating direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to NIB's unique capabilities and limited competition in this niche, the contract includes a short performance window for delivery. This arrangement underscores a partnership that not only meets the functional needs of government agencies but also advances inclusive employment initiatives within the public sector.
