Chautauqua County Chapter Of Nysarc, Inc.

Chautauqua County Chapter Of Nysarc, Inc., doing business as Resource Center, is an AbilityOne nonprofit manufacturer and prime contractor that supplies military and medical equipment to the Department of Defense and its logistics arms through full-and-open federal procurement, with no set-asides applied to any recent awards. Based in Jamestown, New York, Resource Center manufactures finished goods for federal agencies and operates as a tax-exempt organization whose core mission centers on providing employment opportunities and services to individuals with disabilities.

Resource Center's federal footprint spans military logistics across three broad capability areas: medical supplies including first aid kits, trauma kits, and medical modules; aviation safety equipment including aircraft safety belts, harness sets, and ground rods; and apparel and load-bearing equipment including ammunition pockets and entrenching tool carriers. Recent representative prime work includes a $1.92 million delivery order from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Clothing and Textiles division for ammunition pockets (awarded March 5, 2026), a $1.34 million definitive contract from Department of Defense Aviation for aircraft safety belts (awarded February 23, 2026), and a $639,075 purchase order from DoD Aviation for ground rods (awarded April 13, 2026). Across its prime portfolio, Resource Center also holds three significant single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA: a $32.68 million IDC for ammunition pockets running through June 2026, a $6.74 million IDC for entrenching carriers running through June 2026, and a $627,880 IDC for ground rods (expired January 2023). These IDCs anchor the organization's capacity to deliver sustained supply.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to DLA's internal divisions. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (486 awards, $98.1 million potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (98 awards, $115 million potential value) together account for the majority of recent awards and capture 76% of the award count. The top five customers by award count account for 76% of all awards, but by potential-value ranking, DLA Clothing and Textiles and DLA Medical represent 82% of combined potential value when paired with the Marine Corps (31 awards, $63.3 million), DLA Aviation (82 awards, $45.8 million), and Department of Defense aggregate (5 awards, $19.8 million). Resource Center maintains task order positions on multiple DLA IDCs, including SPE2DV17D8000 (30 task orders), SP043098D0110 (23 task orders), and SPE2DV17D8200 (17 task orders).

Activity has tracked steady but modest: 31 awards in 2022, 53 in 2023, 55 in 2024, 39 in 2025, and 11 as of mid-2026. The recompete cliff surface shows five awards totaling $7.4 million in potential value completing inside the next twenty-four months—low risk for the vendor relative to the $418.6 million combined potential value across the full footprint, but notably below the organization's historical annual volume.

Resource Center operates as a prime contractor on 93% of its awards (1,011 of 1,088 total), with a subcontractor footprint limited to work under Cardinal Health 200, LLC as prime, where Resource Center supplies medical first aid kits and trauma equipment components to Cardinal Health's federal medical supply contracts. The sub work represents 7% of the award count and tracks medical supply chain activity running from 2022 through January 2026.

The vendor's capability portfolio reflects its manufacturing base in Jamestown. Top NAICS categories are Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing (225 awards), Ground or Treated Mineral and Earth Manufacturing (110 awards), and Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (101 awards). By PSC, Replenishable Field Medical Sets, Kits, and Outfits dominate (442 awards), followed by Individual Equipment (153 awards) and Electrical Hardware and Supplies (86 awards). Resource Center competes across all these categories without set-aside protection—every contract in the recent file carries "No Set-Aside Used" designation. Obligated dollars ($448.1 million) exceed potential value ($418.6 million) by 7%, a signal of contract modifications and delivery acceleration across the portfolio.
