The federal contract IDV is a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded by the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service to Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM), a non-profit AbilityOne organization. The BPA, valued up to $150,000, aims to procure a variety of office supplies, personal protective equipment, cleaning products, and other general-use items to support federal agency logistics and operations under the GSA's Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) program.
The contract has a performance period from April 2017 through April 2027 and does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides. The place of performance for the awarded task orders is BISM's facility in Halethorpe, Maryland. The task orders feature firm-fixed-price line items for products such as record books, notebooks, disinfecting wipes, copy paper, writing utensils, and other common office supplies. This BPA allows federal agencies to efficiently obtain these commercial products through a pre-established logistics and distribution channel focused on providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
