(IFB Solutions), a nonprofit organization that provides employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Under this IDC, DLA has issued several firm fixed price delivery orders for IFB Solutions to manufacture and deliver heat protective jackets, with a total value of over $35 million to date.
The delivery orders do not utilize any set-aside designations, but the contract supports the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act by obtaining certain products from qualified nonprofit agencies that employ the blind or severely disabled. IFB Solutions will manufacture the jackets at its facility in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with periods of performance ranging from 2021 through 2025. This contract enables DLA to efficiently procure critical personal protective equipment for the military while also furthering its social policy objectives through the AbilityOne program.
