Delivery Order #47QSSC26FDZ7B

Delivery Order for Paper Plates Under National Industries for the Blind's IDIQ Contract

This award represents a delivery order contract granted to the National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a company dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The delivery order procures paper plates, indicating an acquisition of consumable goods to support agency needs. The contract is part of a larger, substantial IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contract originally awarded to NIB by the General Services Administration, valued at several hundred million dollars to facilitate direct delivery services to military and civilian customers. Awarded on a sole-source basis due to the specialized nature of the recipient's mission and limited competitive field, this delivery order exemplifies ongoing governmental support for social enterprise vendors while fulfilling procurement requirements. The work scope includes the timely delivery of specified paper plate products to the agency's Alexandria, Virginia location within a concise timeframe, reflecting efficient supply chain support. The original IDIQ contract was established to promote federal procurement from businesses empowering disabled individuals, reinforcing the public sector commitment to inclusivity. The award dates fall within a week-long performance period in late 2026, reflecting a short-term transaction aligned with established contract terms.
