Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8Q4Z

Delivery Order for Non-Rechargeable AA Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under a significant indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) umbrella agreement, originally awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a prominent organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, provides direct delivery services to military and civilian government customers. The current delivery order focuses on procurement of non-rechargeable AA size alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, packaged in units of four, with strict quality requirements including maximum shelf age and minimum expiration period post-manufacture. This contract is essential for supplying reliable power sources critical for various government operations. The scope of work involves the timely delivery of these batteries within a concise performance window spanning approximately one week. This award exemplifies a sole-source procurement approach justified by NIB’s unique role and capabilities established through the broader IDIQ contract. The parent contract, awarded recently as a substantial long-term agreement by the General Services Administration, underscores the government's commitment to supporting disability employment while meeting federal supply needs. The delivery order continues this strategic partnership, reaffirming NIB’s role as a trusted government supplier.
