Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8QUC

Short-Term Delivery Order for Alkaline Batteries to National Industries for the Blind

This contract award represents a delivery order under a broader indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is the recipient of this short-term, small-scale order for specific battery products. The procurement focuses on non-rechargeable AA-type alkaline manganese dioxide batteries meeting ANSI/NEDA standards, packaged in units of four, with strict manufacturing age and expiration requirements to ensure product reliability. The contract covers a narrow timeline of approximately one week, emphasizing rapid fulfillment and delivery at the designated location in Alexandria, Virginia. Awarded recently as a single delivery order within the framework of an $800 million multi-year IDIQ contract, this procurement exemplifies the federal commitment to leveraging NIB's capabilities to supply essential consumable items efficiently. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis under the parent IDIQ agreement, reflecting the unique role of NIB in supporting government needs while promoting social objectives. This task reinforces NIB's ongoing partnership with federal agencies, ensuring timely access to critical products through a streamlined acquisition process.
