Delivery Order #47QSSC26FDDJP

Delivery Order for Upright Brooms Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This award represents a delivery order contract issued to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), an organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Under this specific delivery order, NIB is tasked with supplying upright brooms featuring wood or plastic blocks and tubular steel handles, adhering to detailed specifications for block size and broom fill. This order forms part of a larger, substantial indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract previously awarded to NIB by the General Services Administration (GSA), emphasizing NIB's ongoing role in fulfilling federal supply needs and supporting employment for disabled individuals. The scope of work for the delivery order includes the provision and timely delivery of these cleaning tools to a designated location in Alexandria, Virginia. The order was awarded on a sole-source basis, consistent with the parent IDIQ contract's justification of limited competition in this specialized market segment. The timeline for this delivery order is concise, covering about one week, reflecting a rapid procurement cycle within the broader multi-year agreement. Overall, this award highlights both the federal government's commitment to inclusivity in its procurement practices and the continued reliance on proven providers like NIB to meet operational needs efficiently.
