Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8MQX

Short-Term Delivery Order for Handles Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a definitive delivery order contract issued under an existing substantial Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement held by the National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is the recipient of this targeted contract that focuses on procuring specific hardware components, namely handles with ACME threading. The contract exemplifies the government's ongoing initiative to support both essential supply needs and social impact goals by fostering employment for disabled individuals. The scope of work involves the timely delivery of these specialized hardware items to a federal location in Alexandria, VA, within a concise performance window of about one week, illustrating the order's urgent and precise nature. This task was awarded on a sole-source basis, consistent with the parent IDIQ contract's justification of limited competition in this niche market. The original overarching contract was established by the General Services Administration to streamline procurement of direct delivery services for military and civilian customers, encompassing a broad portfolio with a potential value in the hundreds of millions. This delivery order, issued in the mid-2020s, highlights the continued relationship and trust between the agency and NIB, ensuring reliable provision of necessary equipment while advancing federal employment diversity objectives.
