About the company
The Florida Department of Education Division of Blind Services, a child entity of the State of Florida, operates as a federal prime contractor delivering comprehensive dining facility management and full food service operations to military installations, with 98 of 103 recent awards (95%) in the prime role. The division operates under the Randolph-Sheppard Act, which creates employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired while providing food service and mess attendant staffing to federal agencies. The division competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations across recent awards) and holds no SBA certifications; as a state government entity, it qualifies as a mandatory source for food services under Randolph-Sheppard regulations.
Activity has accelerated sharply — one award in 2022 to nine in 2025 — driven by new definitive contracts with the Air Force and Navy. The division's customer base is heavily concentrated in military dining operations. The top five customers by potential value account for 86% of combined potential value, led by the Department of the Navy Installations Command ($29.1 million across four awards, anchored by a $12.1 million definitive contract through September 2031 for full food services at the Seashore Dining Facility, Naval Support Activity Panama City), the Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command ($22 million across twelve awards), and the Department of the Air Force Special Operations Command ($21.6 million across two awards, including a $9.6 million definitive contract through January 2030 for mess attendant services and dining facility operations at Hurlburt Field). By award count, the Department of the Army Florida Army National Guard leads with 48 awards valued at $12.3 million combined, reflecting a high volume of smaller-dollar delivery orders against existing indefinite delivery vehicles.
The division holds four active indefinite delivery contracts. The largest by task-order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract W911YN15D0001 (Department of the Army), which carries 70 task orders with $6.1 million combined potential value and runs through the period. Recent definitive contracts include a $7.81 million award from the Air Force for Eglin Air Force Base dining facility management through March 2029, a $12 million single-award IDC from the Department of the Army for the Florida Regional Training Institute in Starke through September 2030, and delivery orders totaling approximately $1.5 million to $1.1 million for wage increases and facility operations at Fort Liberty, North Carolina and Key West, Florida. The division's capability portfolio is concentrated in food service contracting (97 of recent awards) under NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors) and PSC codes 4040 (Housekeeping–Food) and 4090 (Operation of Dining Facilities), encompassing food preparation, serving, cashiering, facility cleaning, equipment maintenance, and mess attendant staffing. The division acts as a sub-recipient on two child care program grants from the Department of Health and Human Services through the Florida Department of Children and Families as prime grantee. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $115.1 million, though obligated dollars ($292.6 million) exceed that ceiling, indicating extensive task-order reallocation and exercised options. Only one award ($1.1 million) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure.
