This award is a delivery order contract issued under a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract held by the National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract procures non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide AA batteries with specific standards on voltage, packaging, and shelf life. This procurement supports federal agencies by supplying essential battery products while promoting social impact through employment inclusivity. The scope includes delivery of batteries meeting stringent specifications, with performance scheduled over a short, defined period. The delivery order is issued under a sole-source basis as part of NIB's established IDIQ contract with the General Services Administration (GSA), reflecting limited competition in this specialized field. Important milestones include the short-term performance window set for early June 2026. This award builds on NIB's substantial, long-term contract supporting direct delivery services to government and military customers, underpinning continued federal procurement and social enterprise goals.
