This award is a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for blind and visually impaired individuals. The contract involves the procurement of non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, designated ANSI/NEDA No. 15A or 'AA', with specifications including a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts, packaging in sets of four, a maximum age on delivery, and a minimum expiration period after manufacture. This order supports the broader scope of NIB's ongoing IDIQ contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), which facilitates direct delivery services to both military and civilian government customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of NIB’s mission and limited competition, this delivery order plays a vital role in ensuring consistent battery supply for federal use. The work is scheduled for a short, defined period, highlighting timely procurement within an established long-term contractual framework. The parent contract, a substantial single-award IDIQ, solidifies NIB's importance in supporting federal procurement needs while advancing social objectives. The place of performance is in Alexandria, Virginia, indicating logistical coordination from this location.
