Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8MRH

Delivery Order for Type II Alkaline AAA Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract executed under an existing substantial Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, notable for providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, serves as the recipient under this contract. The procurement specifically concerns Type II Alkaline Manganese Dioxide AAA batteries, packaged in sets of four with strict requirements on shelf life and expiration to ensure quality and reliability. The contract holds significance for the agency by fulfilling essential needs for standardized battery products, supporting operational readiness. The scope encompasses the delivery of these batteries to a specified location within a brief, defined timeframe, aligning with the agency's supply chain needs. Awarded on a sole-source basis through the parent IDIQ contract vehicle, which was justified due to limited competition and the unique capacity of NIB, this delivery order ensures continuation of reliable supply under established procurement mechanisms. The timeline covers a concise performance period shortly following the award date. This agreement builds upon the original extensive IDIQ contract awarded to NIB, reinforcing ongoing federal support for the organization’s mission while ensuring access to critical consumer-size batteries.
