Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8Q2T

Procurement of Industrial Strength General Purpose Tape by NIB

This award is a delivery order issued under a substantial Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, an organization dedicated to providing employment to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, received this order as part of their ongoing contract to supply various goods and services to federal military and civilian customers. The specific product procured under this delivery order is a general-purpose, industrial strength duct tape featuring high tensile strength, easy tear capability, and a high tack adhesive. The tape has precise specifications including a 2-inch width, 60 yards length, opaque yellow color, and a thickness of 0.009 inches. The significance of this order lies in its support of the federal government's operational needs while continuing to promote social impact by enabling employment for disabled individuals through NIB's unique mission. The scope covers the delivery of this specialized tape to the designated location in Alexandria, VA, within a short, clearly defined period. This order was issued as a sole-source award pursuant to the broader IDIQ contract, which is designed for efficient procurement and delivery without the need for repeated competitive bids. The original IDIQ contract represents a major, long-term commitment valued in the hundreds of millions, highlighting its critical role in federal procurement. Key contract milestones include the foundational IDIQ award given in 2021 and the prompt timeline for this specific delivery scheduled in 2026. No additional subcontractors or preceding solicitations are directly associated with this delivery order.
