Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8QHN

Delivery Order for Industrial Strength Duct Tape to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract involves the procurement of industrial-strength duct tape characterized by high tensile strength, easy tear properties, a width of 2 inches, length of 60 yards, blue color, opacity, thickness of 9 mil, a high tack adhesive, and made entirely from poly-coated material. This delivery order falls under a larger single award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract previously awarded to NIB by the General Services Administration, which supports federal government direct delivery services. The significance of this contract lies in enabling NIB to continue supplying essential materials while supporting employment for disabled individuals, contributing both to federal agency operational needs and social impact. The scope of work includes the timely delivery of the specified tape product to Alexandria, VA, over a short performance window of approximately one week. The award was made on a sole-source basis, justified by the unique capabilities of NIB under the existing IDIQ contract vehicle. Important timelines include the delivery order period during late May to early June 2026, aligned with the terms of the parent IDIQ contract that began in 2021 and continues as an ongoing agreement. This structured procurement highlights a strategic partnership between the federal government and an organization dedicated to social responsibility and specialized supply services.
