Delivery Order #47QSSC26F915F

Delivery Order for Handles by National Industries for the Blind under GSA IDIQ Contract

This award is a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract calls for the supply of handles, specifically ACME threaded handles, highlighting procurement of specialized hardware components. The contract is significant as part of a broader multi-year IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contract managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) that supports direct delivery services to military and civilian government clients. This delivery order builds upon the substantial single-award IDIQ contract previously established, valued at several hundred million dollars, reinforcing continued federal support for NIB's mission-driven services. The work entails delivering specified hardware components according to government needs within a fixed, short-term timeframe. This delivery order was awarded under the existing IDIQ without competitive bidding, consistent with the sole-source nature of the parent contract, which justified limited competition due to the unique social and employment goals involved. The order is scheduled for a concise performance period, ensuring timely delivery. This award exemplifies effective use of government contracting to promote social objectives while fulfilling precise procurement requirements.
