Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8GQZ

Short-Term Delivery Order for Alkaline Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order under a broader Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the General Services Administration (GSA). The contract was awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired while supporting federal procurement needs. The delivery order focuses on procuring non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, commonly known as AA batteries, packaged in units of four, with strict requirements on shelf life and expiration dates to ensure product reliability. The significance of this award lies in its support of both the agency's operational needs for reliable battery supplies and NIB’s mission to promote employment for disabled individuals. The work scope covers the timely delivery of these batteries, meeting specific quality and packaging standards within a defined one-week timeframe. This order aligns with the existing large-scale IDIQ contract, under which NIB operates on a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of the organization’s mandate. The original solicitation for this contract was a non-competitive, single-award agreement focused on delivering direct services to military and civilian customers, highlighting its importance for continuous government supply chains. The award was recently executed, with precise performance dates indicating a concise fulfillment period, illustrating the agreement’s role in meeting short-term operational demands efficiently.
