Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8MBK

Delivery Order for AA Alkaline Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under a substantial single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the General Services Administration (GSA). The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired while fulfilling federal procurement needs. The product procured consists of non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AA batteries, packaged in units of four with quality standards ensuring a minimum shelf life of three years from manufacture and limited age at delivery. This contract plays a significant role in sustaining the supply of essential batteries for federal agencies, demonstrating the government's commitment to both operational readiness and social impact by supporting a mission-driven organization. The scope covers the timely delivery of these battery units to the specified location in Alexandria, Virginia, within a short and precise performance window. This delivery order is a continuation of work awarded under the overarching GSA IDIQ contract exclusively granted to NIB, awarded on a sole-source basis due to the specialized mission and limited competition in this sector. The original IDIQ contract, valued at hundreds of millions, established a multi-year framework facilitating direct delivery services to military and civilian government customers, with this order fitting within that established structure and timeline.
