Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8N1G

Sole-Source Delivery Order for Durable Duct Tape by National Industries for the Blind

This is a delivery order contract awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract falls under a significant multi-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) umbrella agreement previously awarded by the General Services Administration (GSA) exclusively to NIB. The product procured under this order is a pressure-sensitive, vapor-proof, plastic-coated cloth duct tape in aluminum or silver-gray color with specific thickness, width, length, and adhesion specifications. This specialized tape supports federal government operational needs requiring durable sealing materials. The award exemplifies the government's commitment to sourcing from organizations that promote workforce inclusivity while maintaining supply chain reliability. The scope covers delivery of high-quality duct tape meeting stringent technical standards within a short performance period shortly after the order date. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis, justified by the existing IDIQ vehicle held by NIB which limits competition but ensures timely and efficient procurement. The order is a continuation of NIB’s ongoing service under the parent IDIQ contract, which has a substantial total value and enables direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Performance is set for a brief timeframe, reinforcing the delivery-focused nature of this procurement.
