The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (DLA Troop Support) awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at up to $1,185,187.50 to Chautauqua County Chapter Of Nysarc, Inc., doing business as The Resource Center. The contract is for the delivery of carrier entrenching tools, which are critical equipment used by the U.S. military. Under this vehicle, DLA Troop Support has issued multiple delivery orders to The Resource Center totaling over $1 million for the manufacture and supply of these entrenching tools. The Resource Center is an AbilityOne non-profit organization that provides employment opportunities and services to individuals with disabilities. While the contract awards did not utilize any set-asides, The Resource Center's status as an AbilityOne provider supports its mission to employ people with disabilities in the production of these military supplies. The contracted work is being performed in Jamestown, New York, with the most recent delivery order awarded in September 2022 and the contract set to run through September 2023.

In addition to the indefinite delivery contract, The Resource Center has also received several smaller firm-fixed price delivery orders from DLA Troop Support for additional quantities of carrier entrenching tools. These orders, ranging from $11,000 to $43,000, demonstrate the organization's ability to consistently meet the agency's needs for these critical military supplies over an extended period. The Resource Center's long-standing relationship with DLA Troop Support is further evidenced by their participation in other IDV contracts to provide pocket ammunition units and ground transportation services, showcasing their versatility in supporting the military's logistics and readiness requirements.
