Delivery Order for Non-Rechargeable Alkaline AA Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under the umbrella of an existing significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract held by National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, supplying essential goods and services to federal agencies. The contract procures a specific product: non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AA batteries, packaged in units of four, with strict quality and age requirements to ensure reliability and longevity. This delivery order supports ongoing federal needs for reliable power sources, which are critical for numerous government operations and projects. The scope includes the delivery of batteries meeting specified standards within a short-term timeframe, reinforcing the government’s commitment to quality and efficiency. Awarded on a sole-source basis, this action is justified by the specialized nature of the procurement and the established contract vehicle—the large-scale IDIQ contract—which allows streamlined acquisition and continued support for federal programs. The timeline covers a focused delivery period happening in a single week in May 2026. This contract underscores the ongoing partnership between government agencies and NIB, furthering the agency’s mission while promoting vital employment opportunities for disabled individuals through a well-established procurement framework.
