Indefinite Delivery Contract GS15F62028

This indefinite delivery contract (IDC) was awarded by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service to the National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a non-profit AbilityOne agency, with an initial award date of March 15, 1997 and a current ceiling value of $7,100,000. The contract provides for the delivery of various paper products and equipment, primarily shredding machines, to defense and civilian federal agencies. Task orders issued under the IDC are awarded on a fixed-price basis without any set-asides, with performance primarily at NIB's facility in Durham, North Carolina. The products and services procured under this contract support federal agencies' document destruction and general operational needs, leveraging NIB's expertise as an AbilityOne provider to employ individuals who are blind or have significant disabilities.

The cumulative task orders issued to date indicate this IDC has been extensively utilized by numerous Department of Defense and civilian agencies, including the Department of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air National Guard, as well as the Federal Acquisition Service itself. The wide range of shredding machines, folders, and other office supplies ordered suggests this contract provides a valuable contracting vehicle for standardized, cost-effective procurement of common administrative consumables across the federal government.
