Delivery Order for Upright Brooms Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract issued under a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the General Services Administration (GSA). The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract involves procuring upright brooms featuring wood or plastic blocks and tubular steel handles, tailored to precise specifications regarding size and material composition. This delivery order supports the federal government's commitment to integrating employment for disabled individuals while fulfilling essential supply needs. The scope covers the delivery of these specific cleaning tools to be used at a designated government facility in Alexandria, Virginia. The award was made on a sole-source basis, leveraging NIB’s specialized capabilities under the overarching IDIQ agreement, which underscores the limited competition in this niche field. The performance period is a short-term, week-long window, reflecting a prompt fulfillment requirement within a substantial, ongoing contractual relationship initiated in October 2021. This delivery order exemplifies how federal procurement can advance social objectives alongside operational efficiency.
