This award represents a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract procures non-rechargeable type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, specifically AAA size with specified voltage and shelf-life requirements. This award is significant as it supports the government’s operational needs while reinforcing NIB’s mission to employ disabled individuals. The scope includes delivering consumer-grade batteries packaged in predetermined quantities, with strict expiration and maximum age criteria at delivery. The delivery order falls under a substantial single-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle that NIB holds with the General Services Administration for direct delivery services. This particular delivery order was competitively justified as sole-source given NIB's unique capability and the nature of the overarching contract. The performance timeframe for this order is a brief, specific period, reflecting prompt fulfillment requirements. This award is a continuation of the longstanding collaboration under the GSA IDIQ contract that facilitates timely procurement of needed supplies to federal customers.
