Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8QHS

Short-Term Delivery Order for Upright Broom Components to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under a long-term Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle held by National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a non-profit organization dedicated to employing individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The delivery order procures specific components for upright brooms, including wooden or plastic blocks of precise dimensions with plastic fill and flagged ends, and a tubular steel handle of defined length. Such procurements support the agency's operational needs for maintenance tools while promoting social objectives by involving a recipient that advances employment opportunities for disabled individuals. The scope encompasses supplying these detailed broom parts within a short, fixed performance period. The award was issued on a sole-source basis, justified by NIB's unique qualification and their existing IDIQ contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), through which they service military and civilian customers. The contract timeline is concise, reflecting recently awarded terms with a one-week delivery window, under the broader $800 million IDIQ contract that has been in place since 2021. This arrangement exemplifies collaboration between government procurement and social enterprise to fulfill operational needs efficiently.
