Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8Q6N

Delivery Order for Specialized Duct Tape by National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) previously awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is a nonprofit organization that provides employment opportunities to individuals who are blind or visually impaired, supporting federal procurement while promoting social impact. The contract concerns the procurement of pressure-sensitive, vapor-proof duct tape with specific physical characteristics such as color, thickness, width, length, and adhesion properties. This specialized tape is intended for use by federal agencies, supporting operational needs that require durable sealing materials. The award is significant as it continues the mission of consistent, high-quality supply delivery while empowering a unique workforce demographic. The scope includes delivering specified quantities of duct tape adhering to quality standards within a compact timeframe, supporting immediate government requirements. Awarded on a sole-source basis under an existing IDIQ contract, the order relies on established trust and performance history, rather than competitive bidding, ensuring timely fulfillment. The delivery order commencement and completion occur within a short window, highlighting the expedited nature of this procurement. This specific order builds upon a substantial multi-year IDIQ vehicle with a potential value of hundreds of millions, reinforcing a reliable supply chain and continued government support for employment initiatives for the disabled community.
