Delivery Order #47QSSC26F83B9

Supply of Pressure-Sensitive Duct Tape by 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 employing blind and visually impaired individuals. The contract procures pressure-sensitive, vapor-proof, plastic-coated cloth duct tape, specified by thickness, width, length, and color, intended for use in various federal applications requiring durable sealing materials. This procurement supports the broader GSA initiative to leverage contracts that empower disabled workers while meeting government supply needs. The scope includes delivery of specified duct tape rolls adhering to strict quality standards within a short, one-week performance period, demonstrating a focused and time-sensitive supply mission. The contract was awarded as a delivery order under the existing sole-source $800 million IDIQ contract with NIB, which was justified due to NIB's unique mission and limited competition. The award date and timeline align within a narrow window in mid-2026, reflecting a timely replenishment of supply stocks. No key subcontractors are involved given the direct procurement nature, and previous contracts under the umbrella IDIQ have established a precedent of sustained partnership and reliable delivery. This contract is significant for continuing vital support to federal operations while promoting social impact through employment opportunities for individuals with blindness.
