Delivery Order #47QSSC26F918F

Delivery Order Awarded to National Industries for the Blind under $800M IDIQ Contract

This award represents a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a prominent organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The contract pertains to the procurement of goods or services related to the description 'SPONGE,' delivered within a one-week period in mid-2026. It is part of a larger, substantial Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with an approximate value of $800 million managed by the General Services Administration (GSA). This overarching IDIQ contract allows NIB to provide direct delivery services to military and civilian federal customers, emphasizing the agency's commitment to supporting workforce inclusivity and promoting accessibility. The delivery order was awarded on a sole-source basis, reflecting the limited competition in the specialized field of providing services to visually impaired individuals. Key milestones include the initial overarching contract award in late 2021 and ongoing performance through the mid-2020s, with this specific delivery order scheduled for execution during June 2026 in Alexandria, VA. The contract reinforces sustained federal support for social impact employment initiatives while ensuring timely procurement of necessary products or services under government-directed programs.
