Easter Seals Alabama, Inc., operating through its Opportunity Center-Easterseals Division and doing business as Opportunity Center-Easter Seal, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Anniston, Alabama, registered with the federal government since March 2002. The organization holds multiple business designations including AbilityOne Non-Profit Agency status, Community Development Corporation designation, and Department of Transportation Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification. Easter Seals Alabama provides administrative support services, facility maintenance services, and employment training programs to federal agencies, with a particular focus on creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and low-income seniors. The organization has established itself as a consistent federal contractor and grant recipient, maintaining long-standing partnerships with the Department of the Army and leveraging its mission-driven workforce development capabilities to support government operations.

Through federal contract awards, Easter Seals Alabama, Inc. has demonstrated substantial experience delivering non-personal administrative support services to the U.S. Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command. The organization's primary contract work has centered on providing secretarial support, administrative assistant services, duplicating machine operator duties, and janitorial services at TACOM's Anniston, Alabama facility. Individual delivery orders under its Indefinite Delivery Contracts have ranged from approximately $46,000 to $93,000 annually for administrative support functions, with the organization receiving multiple task orders for Secretary III positions, administrative assistant roles, and duplicating machine operations awarded on October 1st of various years from 2021 through 2025, all with firm fixed-price structures and no set-aside designations beyond AbilityOne program considerations. Additionally, Easter Seals Alabama was awarded a significant definitive contract valued at $15.4 million on October 1, 2022, for comprehensive janitorial services at Anniston Army Depot with a base year plus three option years extending through September 30, 2027, reflecting the organization's expanded capacity to deliver facility maintenance services. The organization has also received multiple small-value delivery orders for parts and materials (fitting kits and ball valves) through the Department of Land and Maritime, though these awards contained no monetary values in the historical record. As a subcontractor, Easter Seals Alabama worked under BAE Systems Land & Armaments L.P. for service-related work awarded on March 10, 2021.

Easter Seals Alabama, Inc. participates in the federal grant system as a sub-grantee rather than as a prime grant recipient, receiving funding through the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) administered by Easter Seals, Inc. as the prime grantee. The SCSEP is a community service and work-based job training program authorized under the Older Americans Act, designed to provide training and employment opportunities for low-income, unemployed seniors. Sub-grant awards to Easter Seals Alabama under this program were issued on July 1, 2024, and November 1, 2024, enabling the organization to support participants in gaining work experience through community service activities at non-profit and public facilities such as schools, hospitals, day-care centers, and senior centers. Through these grants, SCSEP participants also receive access to employment assistance through American Job Centers, aligning with Easter Seals Alabama's broader mission of workforce development and employment services. This grant participation demonstrates the organization's integration into the national SCSEP network and its role in serving vulnerable populations, particularly low-income seniors, in the Anniston, Alabama region.

Easter Seals Alabama, Inc. currently holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the U.S. Army's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command valued at $1,227,349.40, effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030, with no set-aside designation. This IDC represents a renewal and expansion of the organization's previous $1.113 million single-award contract vehicle that ran through September 2025 and served as the primary mechanism for issuing delivery orders throughout the 2021-2025 period. The current contract provides the framework for TACOM to issue firm fixed-price delivery orders for non-personal administrative support services, including secretarial support, administrative assistant roles, duplicating machine operations, and janitorial services supporting the command's weapon systems acquisition and logistics programs at the Anniston facility. The contract structure enables TACOM to meet fluctuating staffing and operational support requirements through flexible task order issuance, with historical patterns demonstrating annual delivery order values ranging from $46,000 to $93,000 for individual administrative support functions. Multiple delivery orders have been issued under this IDV vehicle since its inception, with recent orders awarded on October 1, 2025, including a $81,701.30 delivery order for Secretary III non-personal administrative support services and a $66,689.44 delivery order for duplicating machine operator services, both with completion dates of September 30, 2026. The IDV's five-year term and substantial ceiling value position Easter Seals Alabama as a strategically important administrative services provider to Army Materiel Command operations, enabling the organization to sustain its employment and workforce development mission while delivering mission-critical personnel support to the Department of Defense.
