This is a delivery order contract awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization committed to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract involves the procurement of nonrechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AA batteries, manufactured to strict standards with specific packaging and expiration requirements. This order is part of a broader substantial multi-year IDIQ contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), under which NIB supplies various direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to the unique capabilities of NIB in this field, the contract supports federal government needs while promoting social impact by employing disabled individuals. The scope includes delivery of battery packages meeting precise age and quality standards to a location in Alexandria, VA, within a short, fixed timeframe. The original IDIQ contract was awarded in 2021, establishing a long-term partnership; this delivery order continues to leverage that framework for targeted procurement of essential products.
