The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by December 8, 2025, and will be performed in San Antonio, Texas. Vibrant Works, an AbilityOne-certified non-profit organization, has established itself as a versatile federal contractor specializing in manufacturing and supplying defense-related components, including aviation equipment, tactical gear, and specialized military items.
