Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8R41

Short-Term Delivery Order for Aircraft Cleaning Pads to National Industries for the Blind

This contract award is a delivery order under an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, which allows the government to procure specific goods or services as needed. The recipient, National Industries for the Blind (NIB), is a nonprofit organization dedicated to employing individuals who are blind or visually impaired, promoting their integration into the workforce. Under this award, NIB is supplying specialized 3/8 inch thick nonwoven, nonmetallic, and nonabrasive polyester cleaning and polishing pads designed specifically for use on aluminum aircraft surfaces. The product size is approximately 6 by 12 inches, with environmentally conscious packaging requirements prohibiting plastic materials. This contract exemplifies the government's commitment to supporting both quality maintenance products for military assets and social objectives by engaging a disability-focused provider. The scope covers the delivery of these cleaning pads within a short, specified timeframe that ensures timely replenishment of essential maintenance supplies. This order was issued as a sole-source action under the broader umbrella IDIQ contract, justified by the unique capabilities of the recipient. The award follows a previous substantial contract between the government and NIB, which established a foundation for ongoing service and supply delivery. The brief performance period underscores the delivery order's focused and urgent nature, reinforcing NIB's role as a reliable supplier within this domain.
