This award is a delivery order under a substantial indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA). The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is a notable organization providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, specializing in manufacturing and service delivery to government customers. The contract involves the procurement of squeegeelades, metal blade frames made of brass or stainless steel, metal sockets for handles, and corrosion-resistant steel fasteners. These components are essential hardware products, with blade frames designed to accommodate 15/16 inch nominal diameter handles, supporting various cleaning and maintenance applications within federal operations. This delivery order underscores the continuing partnership between NIB and the federal government, promoting social impact through job creation for the disabled community while fulfilling critical supply needs. The scope covers the provision and timely delivery of these specific metal hardware products to Alexandria, Virginia. The award was made on a sole-source basis as a follow-on to the large, long-term $800 million IDIQ parent contract, reflecting the trust and established relationship with NIB. The period of performance is a short, focused timeframe, facilitating prompt delivery and support to federal agencies. Overall, this award highlights the procurement's significance in balancing operational requirements with social responsibility objectives.
