About the company
Bestwork Industries For The Blind Inc., an AbilityOne-certified nonprofit manufacturer headquartered in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, manufactures and supplies military apparel, textiles, and specialized equipment to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across 407 awards, competing in the unrestricted federal marketplace with no set-aside designations. The organization's core mission is to provide employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired while delivering domestically produced military-grade goods manufactured entirely at its single Cherry Hill facility without major subcontractors.
Bestwork's customer concentration is dominated by the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, which accounts for 251 awards (61% of award count) representing $377.3 million in combined potential value (97% of total dollars). The vendor also serves the Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center (31 awards, $6.6 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (61 awards, $4 million), the U.S. Coast Guard (9 awards, $1.8 million), and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (23 awards, $507 thousand). The concentration is decisive: DLA Clothing and Textiles dominates both volume and dollars, with all other customers representing less than 3 percent of combined potential value.
Bestwork's capability portfolio centers on military apparel and textile manufacturing. Representative work includes a $7.417 million delivery order from DLA Troop Support for liner parkas (March 2026), a $2.743 million order for liner parkas (September 2025), a $1.613 million order for extreme cold weather bags (April 2026), a $1.09 million order for sleeping bags (April 2026), a $926.996 thousand order for working jerseys (May 2026), and a $841,344 delivery order from Naval Air Warfare Center for COPARS equipment support (August 2025). Beyond apparel, the vendor supplies specialized equipment including CNC coordinate measuring machines, lathes, milling turning centers, interferometers, and HVAC support equipment to Naval Air Warfare Center. Bestwork manufactures liner parkas, working parkas, moisture-wicking undershirts, flight deck jerseys, cold weather shirts, extreme cold weather liners, sleeping bags, individual decoration sets, service medals, reflective tape, and related military textiles.
Bestwork holds seven active Indefinite Delivery Vehicles totaling approximately $84.7 million in ceiling value through 2030. The largest is a $68.9 million single-award IDC with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles for military apparel and cold weather textiles (awarded December 9, 2025, completion December 8, 2030). Other significant vehicles include a $37.624 million IDC for liner parkas and extreme cold liners (August 21, 2025, completion August 20, 2028), an $18.73 million IDC for moisture-wicking undershirts (May 4, 2022, completion May 3, 2027), a $10.7 million IDC for flight deck jerseys (July 2, 2024, completion December 31, 2028), an $8.424 million IDC for military clothing and textiles (August 22, 2025, completion August 21, 2030), an $8.24 million IDC for cold weather shirts (June 12, 2025, completion June 4, 2029), and a $1 million IDIQ with the Coast Guard (June 16, 2024, completion June 15, 2029). Bestwork also holds a Basic Ordering Agreement with Naval Air Warfare Center for Contractor Operated Parts Store (COPARS) functions (March 5, 2024, completion March 4, 2029).
Activity has accelerated significantly: 20 awards in 2022, 20 in 2023, 35 in 2024, 50 in 2025, and 30 year-to-date in 2026. Eleven awards representing $14.6 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure for both the vendor and competitors. Combined obligated dollars across the portfolio reach $135.3 million (35 percent of combined potential value), indicating strong execution against the $390.3 million in total potential value.
The vendor's primary NAICS framing is Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (112 awards) and Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors (90 awards), with secondary exposure in Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (49 awards) and General Warehousing and Storage (31 awards). Primary PSC coding reflects Clothing, Special Purpose (246 awards), with secondary exposure in Brooms, Brushes, Mops, and Sponges (58 awards) and Individual Equipment (26 awards). Bestwork competes entirely outside set-aside categories, establishing itself as a mainstream supplier despite its AbilityOne status.
