Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8N4S

Delivery Order for Biodegradable Cleaning Towels to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order under a substantial single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, known for providing employment opportunities to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is the recipient of this contract focusing on supplying specialized cleaning towels. The towels procured are commercial-grade, laminated, four-ply paper products designed for cleaning and polishing, specifically effective for removing oil, grease, and other liquid spills. Notably, the towels are 93 percent biodegradable and include nylon reinforcement for durability. This contract supports the federal agency's need for environmentally responsible cleaning materials while simultaneously advancing social goals by supporting a mission-driven enterprise. The work involves delivering these specialized towels securely to the designated location with a short performance period, reflecting the delivery order's focused scope within the larger multi-year framework of the parent IDIQ contract. This award was made on a sole-source basis under the overarching IDIQ vehicle, justified by the limited competition and the specialized nature of the products and services provided by NIB. The contract covers a brief timeframe in late spring to early summer, demonstrating an efficient, targeted delivery schedule aligned with operational demands.
