This indefinite delivery contract was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles program to National Industries for the Blind (NIB), a nonprofit agency designated under the AbilityOne program. The contract, valued at up to $1,095,500, calls for NIB to provide various men's neckwear and scarves to support the provisioning of goods for the U.S. Armed Forces. Delivery orders issued to date total over $380,000, with performance required at locations in Albany, New York. As a mandatory source for the government under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act, NIB leverages its AbilityOne designation to deliver these textile products using a workforce of individuals who are blind or have significant disabilities.
In addition to the clothing and textile items, NIB has held other prime contracts and subcontracts with federal agencies, including a $4.6 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of Commerce to provide IT and telecommunications platform support services. These services help ensure accessibility standards are met for disabled individuals under Section 508 requirements. The varied contract awards to NIB demonstrate the company's capability to deliver a range of products and services to support the missions of civilian and defense agencies through its AbilityOne-designated nonprofit status.
