This award is a delivery order contract issued under an existing large-scale indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract managed by the General Services Administration (GSA). The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, serving federal customers through specialized products and services. The contract involves procuring metal blade squeegees, including metal blade frames, metal sockets for handles (handles not included), and corrosion-resistant steel fasteners. These blade frames accommodate insertion of 15/16 inch nominal diameter handles and are crafted from brass or stainless steel, measuring approximately 15.75 inches in length. This award supports the federal government's procurement needs while promoting workforce inclusion of disabled individuals. The scope covers delivering a specific quantity of these corrosion-resistant metal blade squeegees within a short performance period of about one week. The contract is a sole-source award leveraging NIB's unique role and established capabilities under the parent IDIQ contract. The parent contract is a substantial single-award vehicle with a potential multi-million dollar ceiling, originally awarded competitively to ensure stable, ongoing direct delivery services to military and civilian agencies. This delivery order was recently awarded with performance set in late May 2026, reflecting ongoing demand and fulfillment under the long-term IDIQ agreement.
