Purchase Order SP330026P0236

The U.S. Defense Department, through its Distribution function, awarded a $17,843 firm fixed-price purchase order to National Industries For The Blind (NIB) on January 20, 2026, for the supply of sack ship 14.5x20 bubble buff materials. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by March 11, 2026, with performance taking place in Alexandria, Virginia, where NIB maintains its headquarters. NIB, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization and registered AbilityOne Non-Profit Agency, leverages its prime contractor status with the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service to supply an extensive portfolio of goods to federal agencies while advancing its core mission of creating employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have significant visual disabilities.

This award represents one of numerous recent delivery orders issued to NIB across diverse product categories including facility maintenance supplies, personal protective equipment, and office supplies. The organization's substantial federal contracting footprint is evidenced by a significant $76.2 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles division, awarded in August 2025 and extending through August 2028, which supports Department of Defense requirements for military apparel and textile products. Through these varied procurement vehicles, NIB demonstrates robust capability in fulfilling federal requirements across multiple price points while maintaining specialized manufacturing competencies aligned with stringent military specifications.
