Delivery Order #47QSSC27F0BJZ

Delivery Order for Disposable Gloves under IDIQ Contract to Blind Workforce

This award is a delivery order contract under an existing indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement between the General Services Administration (GSA) and National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NIB, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, is the direct recipient, emphasizing the award's support for disability employment initiatives. The contract procures disposable gloves to fulfill operational supply needs across federal agencies. Its significance lies in combining the government's demand for essential protective equipment with NIB's mission to empower visually impaired workers through meaningful jobs. The scope of work involves the timely delivery of disposable gloves to a specified federal location, with logistics managed under a sole-source arrangement. This sole-source basis is justified due to NIB's unique workforce model and specialized service offerings, avoiding competition to maintain program effectiveness. The award schedule spans a short-term timeline, with delivery expected within one week, fitting within a broader, multi-year IDIQ contract originally awarded in 2021, which extends through 2031. This delivery order reflects ongoing efforts to meet immediate agency requirements while supporting long-term government supply chain and social responsibility goals.
