About the company
The Virginia Department for the Blind and Vision Impaired (DBVI), operating under the doing-business-as name Department for the Blind, is a U.S. state government entity registered with the federal government since April 2000. DBVI serves as Virginia's designated state agency for providing comprehensive vocational rehabilitation and independent living services to individuals with visual disabilities. The organization delivers a range of federal-funded services and products to support employment opportunities and quality-of-life improvements for visually impaired residents across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Through federal contract awards, DBVI has provided expendable materials and adaptive equipment to support individuals with visual disabilities. The organization received three purchase order contracts from federal agencies between 2021 and 2025, with a combined ceiling value of approximately $118,318. Two contracts were funded through the Office of the Inspector General, each valued at approximately $20,000 to $23,000 for agent gear procurement, with award dates in June and July 2021. A third contract, valued at $75,000 and awarded by the Department of Defense Education Activity on March 18, 2021, focused on expendable materials and adaptive equipment with a completion date of July 31, 2025. All contracts were awarded without set-aside designations, and DBVI served as the prime contractor on each award with no sub-award recipients identified.
DBVI's federal grant portfolio is substantial and consistent, with the organization serving as a prime grantee for multiple formula grants administered by the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. The primary grants support three core program areas: State Vocational Rehabilitation Services (VR), State Supported Employment Services (SE), and Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind (OIB). Since fiscal year 2021, DBVI has received recurring annual formula grants for these three programs, with the most recent awards dated October 1, 2025, and completion dates of September 30, 2026. A notable grant award includes $4,209,820 for State Vocational Rehabilitation Services (CFDA 84.126) supporting comprehensive vocational assessments, career counseling, job skills training, and workplace accommodations. Additionally, DBVI received $258,689 under the Rehabilitation Services Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind program (CFDA 84.177) for the current fiscal year. The organization also received a $396,601 formula grant in June 2021 for Randolph-Sheppard financial relief and restoration payments to compensate blind vendors for COVID-19 pandemic losses. DBVI additionally serves as a sub-recipient of federal grant funding under the Commonwealth of Virginia State Board of Education for IDEA Part B Section 611 Special Education programs, demonstrating coordination within Virginia's special education delivery system.
