This delivery order contract was awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Under this contract, NIB will supply Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AAA batteries packaged in units of four, meeting specified standards for voltage, packaging age, and minimum expiration duration. This contract supports the broader $800 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement previously awarded to NIB by the General Services Administration (GSA) for direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of the services and employment objectives, this short-term delivery order ensures timely procurement of essential battery products. The contract encompasses a one-week period of performance with delivery to Alexandria, Virginia, reinforcing the ongoing collaboration between the agency and NIB to promote accessibility and federal procurement efficiency.
