Sole-Source Delivery Order for AAA Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This contract award is a delivery order under an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle held by National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired, is tasked with supplying Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AAA batteries. These batteries are consumer-sized, meet specific voltage and expiration standards, and are packaged in small sets with defined shelf-life requirements. The award supports the agency's need for reliable battery supply, enhancing operational readiness by ensuring availability of essential power sources. The scope includes timely delivery of the batteries with strict adherence to freshness and packaging criteria. This delivery order was awarded on a sole-source basis under the umbrella of the large, multi-year IDIQ contract previously established with NIB, reflecting the organization's unique position in this specialized procurement area. The contract performance period is concise, spanning approximately one week, indicating a prompt fulfillment schedule within the broader multi-year framework. This award enables continued support for both the federal government's power supply needs and the mission to provide meaningful employment for visually impaired individuals.
