Delivery Order #47QSSC27F09TP

Delivery Order for Sponge Procurement Awarded to National Industries for the Blind

This contract is a delivery order under a larger indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract previously awarded to National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, and it supports government procurement needs through direct delivery services. The current delivery order procures a product described as "SPONGE," reflecting a specific item or supply required by the government. This award is significant because it continues to enable NIB to fulfill its mission of promoting employment for the visually impaired while meeting the federal agency’s supply requirements efficiently. The scope of work includes the delivery of the sponge product to the designated place of performance in Alexandria, Virginia, within a short performance period of about one week, indicating a rapid fulfillment requirement. The delivery order was awarded under a sole-source contract vehicle established earlier by the General Services Administration (GSA) based on the specialized nature of NIB’s services and limited competition in this sector. Key timelines highlight the award and completion occurring in October 2026, supporting ongoing federal demand. This award builds on an $800 million long-term IDIQ contract with NIB, reinforcing a stable partnership aimed at federal procurement and social impact.
