Delivery Order #47QSSC26FDANP

Delivery Order for Picnic Forks Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This award is a delivery order contract, representing a specific procurement action under a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. It was recently awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. NIB operates under a significant overarching IDIQ contract established by the General Services Administration (GSA), supporting various federal military and civilian needs. The product procured through this delivery order is picnic forks, which although seemingly minor, contribute to fulfilling government supply needs efficiently. The contract underscores the importance of leveraging social enterprises in federal procurement, promoting employment among disabled individuals while meeting agency requirements. Scope of work includes the timely delivery of picnic forks to the designated location in Alexandria, Virginia within a short, specified period. This contract follows a sole-source award strategy justified by NIB’s unique role in providing products and services for the federal government under the parent IDIQ contract. Important milestones include the delivery period scheduled within a week in September 2026. Overall, this award exemplifies an ongoing partnership aimed at supporting federal supply chains while advancing social impact employment goals.
