National Industries for the Blind Awarded Delivery Order for Alkaline Batteries

This award represents a delivery order contract issued under the umbrella of a substantial Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement previously established by the General Services Administration (GSA) with National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a prominent organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, received this contract to supply non-rechargeable Type II alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, sized AA with a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts. The contract specifies packaging requirements, age limits on delivery, and expiration standards to ensure quality and reliability. The significance of this award is underscored by its role in supporting federal operations with essential battery products, contributing to mission readiness and operational continuity. The scope includes procurement and delivery of consumer batteries meeting specific industry standards, fulfilling needs within a concise timeframe. This contract was awarded as a follow-on delivery order against an existing large-scale IDIQ agreement, which was awarded on a sole-source basis due to NIB’s unique mission and capabilities. The delivery order spans a one-week performance period, indicating a focused, immediate supply need. The long-term IDIQ contract framework ensures ongoing partnership and service stability between NIB and the federal government.
