Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8GDJ

Battery Supply Delivery Order to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract under a large Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle held by National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is a nonprofit organization focused on creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, and this contract supports their mission within federal procurement. The contract procures non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AAA batteries packaged in sets of four, meeting specific quality and longevity standards with a minimum shelf life upon delivery. The award is significant as it fulfills an ongoing federal need for essential, reliable battery supplies, aiding both military and civilian operations. The scope of work includes the timely delivery of these batteries to a designated government location in Alexandria, VA, ensuring adherence to strict expiration and quality requirements. This delivery order stems from a competitive IDIQ contract awarded previously on a sole-source basis to NIB due to their specialized position in the market and mission alignment. The contract was recently awarded and covers a short performance period spanning approximately one week, ensuring prompt fulfillment. This award exemplifies the government’s commitment to sourcing from organizations that promote workforce diversity and support disabled individuals while meeting operational needs efficiently.
