This award represents a delivery order contract for the procurement of high-quality paper towels designed for wiping and polishing soft plastic surfaces. The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is an established organization that provides employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, fostering social impact alongside government service. The contract specifically requires three-ply paper towels with stringent size and strength specifications, ensuring durability and effectiveness for federal use. This delivery order is a component of a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract held by NIB, which supports direct delivery services to military and civilian government customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis, this acquisition underscores NIB's unique role and limited competition in this specialized procurement area. The work is geographically centered in Alexandria, Virginia, with a short-term performance period spanning approximately one week in May 2026. This contract contributes to sustaining NIB’s long-term engagement with the General Services Administration (GSA) and highlights the importance of supporting employment for disabled individuals while fulfilling federal supply needs.
