The federal contract IDV awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Clothing and Textiles to Mississippi Industries For The Blind (MIB) primarily provides for the delivery of barracks bags and other textile products to support the U.S. military. Under this single-award indefinite delivery contract with a ceiling value of $12.6 million, MIB has received multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders ranging from $264,250 to $2.6 million to manufacture and supply quantities of barracks bags from 65,000 to 1.7 million units. The contract performance occurs at MIB's facility in Jackson, Mississippi, and no set-aside designations were used. In addition to the barracks bags, MIB has also produced other textile items like cloth muslin bags, webbing straps, and specialized equipment like forest fire rakes and hand shovels for various defense agencies through this contract vehicle. The contract's purpose is to establish a reliable source for the DLA to efficiently procure these textile products and supplies to equip America's armed forces, while supporting MIB's mission as an AbilityOne non-profit organization that provides employment opportunities for blind individuals. The contract contains several notable task orders. For example, a $1.1 million delivery order was issued in 2021 for 850,851 barracks bags, and a $890,400 order in 2022 was placed for 850,816 barracks bags. Other delivery orders ranging from $264,250 to $816,000 were awarded between 2020-2021 for varying quantities of barracks bags. These task orders demonstrate the ongoing relationship between MIB and the DLA, as the agency continues to leverage this IDV to efficiently fulfill its textile and equipment needs for the military.
