Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8PA3

Short-term Delivery Order for Mechanic Gloves to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a short-term delivery order under an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for people who are blind or visually impaired. The contract entails procuring specialized men's mechanic gloves featuring stretch knit backs, padded knuckles, double-layered synthetic leather palms, and elastic cuffs with hook-and-loop closures in size large. This delivery order supports a focused supply need within a brief timeframe, reflecting a multi-year, substantial $800 million IDIQ contract NIB holds with the General Services Administration (GSA) for direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Awarded as a sole-source follow-on under the parent IDIQ contract, this agreement ensures timely provision of protective gloves in Alexandria, Virginia, meeting agency operational requirements. The original IDIQ contract was competitively justified due to limited competition in the field, enabling NIB's continued role in supporting federal procurement while promoting employment for disabled individuals. This transaction highlights the government's commitment to leveraging social enterprise partnerships and maintaining essential supply lines for protective gear.
