Central Optical Laboratories, Inc. holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 valued at $5,500,000.00 for specialty optical lenses (OFL specialty lenses). This five-year BPA, awarded on November 1, 2023, and extending through October 31, 2028, was established as a small business set-aside and serves as the parent vehicle for multiple subsequent delivery orders and BPA calls. The IDV operates exclusively under the VA's Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 as the sole awarding agency, with task orders and BPA calls issued for the continued supply of specialty optical lenses to support the VA's vision care services for veterans in the Northwest region. The $5.5 million ceiling value demonstrates the significant reliance the VA places on Central Optical Laboratories' manufacturing capabilities for meeting regional optical fabrication requirements.
