Delivery Order #47QSSC26F8R49

Short-Term Duct Tape Supply Order to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract involves the procurement of pressure-sensitive, vapor-proof, plastic-coated cloth duct tape in aluminum or silver-gray color, meeting specific thickness, width, length, and adhesion requirements. This supply enhances the agency's operational needs by ensuring availability of reliable sealing materials. The work scope covers manufacturing and direct delivery of specified duct tape products within a short timeframe. The order was placed under a substantial single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the General Services Administration, originally awarded to NIB to support direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. The contract was awarded on a sole-source basis, justified due to limited competition in procuring such specialized products from this unique provider. The performance period is brief, reflecting a focused supply requirement within a week. This delivery order exemplifies the ongoing support to federal operations while fostering employment for disabled individuals through NIB's impactful mission.
