This award is a delivery order contract for procuring folding utility knives with ergonomic handles and push-button blade changes, supplied by National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, aligning this contract with their mission to support inclusive employment practices. The knives feature nylon handles in black and yellow and steel blades, designed for practical utility use. The award is significant as it continues to advance the agency's commitment to sourcing products from organizations that empower disabled workers while fulfilling federal supply needs. The work scope covers the delivery of these specific knives within a concise, short-term timeframe. This delivery order is awarded under a large, multi-million dollar indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract previously established by the General Services Administration, which NIB holds as a sole-source provider due to limited competition in this specialized field. The original IDIQ contract enables sustained and reliable service contracts supporting military and civilian customers nationally. The order's period of performance is brief and precise, scheduled for completion in a matter of days, reflecting a targeted procurement within the broader ongoing contract. The contract vehicle used is the IDIQ awarded by GSA, ensuring streamlined purchasing processes for the government. No additional subcontractors, previous separate contracts, or solicitation details are applicable or available for this specific delivery order.
