Delivery Order for AA Alkaline Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract made to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract secures the procurement of non-rechargeable AA alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, specifically packaged in sets of four, with stringent quality specifications including voltage and expiration requirements. This delivery order is part of a larger single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract established by the General Services Administration (GSA), valued in the substantial multi-million dollar range, which facilitates timely direct delivery services to military and civilian agencies. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of the supplier and limited competition, this contract holds significance in supporting federal operational needs while promoting employment for disabled individuals. The scope includes the delivery of batteries meeting ANSI/NEDA standards, scheduled for a brief but critical period in mid-2026, reinforcing the continual supply of essential consumable electronics components for government use. The parent IDIQ contract underpins this delivery order, ensuring a longstanding partnership and stable procurement channel for these supplies.
