This award is a delivery order contract placed under a significant indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract procures non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, specifically ANSI/NEDA No. 14A size 'C' consumer batteries, supplied in packages of four, with strict requirements on shelf life and expiration dating. This delivery order supports the government’s operational needs by ensuring a reliable supply of essential battery products for various applications. The contract stems from a large, sole-source IDIQ contract established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with NIB, valued in the multi-hundred million dollar range, emphasizing the strategic partnership with the organization and its mission to promote employment for disabled individuals. This delivery order reflects a focused procurement for specific battery products within the ongoing broad scope of services provided by NIB. The work covers timely delivery to a designated government location with quality and age requirements to maintain operational readiness. Awarded through a sole-source process justified by the unique qualifications of NIB in this sector, this delivery order consolidates the agency’s commitment to supporting social objectives while fulfilling logistical needs. The contract period is a brief yet critical multi-week timeframe, highlighting the responsive nature of the delivery order within the broader established contract framework. This award exemplifies government procurement that aligns operational effectiveness with social impact.
