This award represents a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a reputable organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract focuses on the procurement of blades and knives, providing essential tools likely used for direct delivery services. This order is a subset of a larger, significant single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract previously awarded to NIB by the General Services Administration (GSA), which supports both military and civilian customers by facilitating federal procurement while promoting workforce inclusion. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis, consistent with the parent award's justification due to limited competition in this specialized field. Work under this delivery order is to be performed in Alexandria, Virginia, over a short-term period, underscoring its role in fulfilling specific, timely needs within the broader scope of the ongoing IDIQ contract. This delivery order reinforces the GSA’s commitment to leveraging existing contract vehicles to streamline acquisition and support important social and governmental objectives.
