Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8P63

Delivery Order for Tobacco Pipe Cleaners Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This contract represents a delivery order under a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) umbrella agreement previously awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a nonprofit organization dedicated to employing individuals who are blind or visually impaired, secured this order to provide specialized tobacco pipe cleaners featuring wire core construction, precise diameters, and a nonabrasive cotton or synthetic fiber filler. The award is significant as it continues to support NIB's mission of federal contracting that simultaneously promotes social impact by providing meaningful employment. The scope includes delivering pipe cleaners designed to meet strict performance and material specifications. This task order was awarded competitively within the scope of the existing broad IDIQ contract, which was established through a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of the services and limited competition in this industry sector. The performance period is short-term, covering about one week in late spring of the following year. This award builds upon the foundational IDIQ agreement awarded in 2021 by the General Services Administration, which supports direct delivery services for military and civilian federal customers from NIB.
