About the company
Ability Works Inc., doing business as Mrdd, is a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation based in Sandusky, Ohio that receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient, with no direct federal contracting activity. The organization operates almost entirely as a subgrantee (80% of recent awards) under a single federal customer relationship, the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service, with combined dollars obligated across all awards totaling $536 thousand.
Ability Works' federal footprint is minimal and grant-focused rather than contract-based. The vendor holds one prime grant award and four sub-grant awards, all from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service. Recent work includes three sub-grant awards dated August 2025 and one dated October 2024, all designated as "Purchase Expansion Vehicle" or "Ability Works Veh, Buy Expansion - Vans," indicating the organization receives funding to expand its vehicle fleet or transportation capacity. Award activity is sparse — one award in 2008, one in 2024, and three in 2025 — for a combined obligated value of $536 thousand across the entire five-award history in the source data. The organization serves no other federal customer agencies beyond USDA Rural Housing Service.
The vendor's federal grant role is consistent with its nonprofit structure and community development mission rather than federal contracting. Ability Works does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition contracts, agency IDIQs, or schedule vehicles, and has never been awarded a federal contract as a prime. Federal engagement is limited to sub-recipient status under USDA Rural Housing Service grant programs, where it receives funding for transportation and vehicle expansion supporting its community development operations.
