About the company
Industries For The Blind And Visually Impaired, Inc., a Wisconsin-based tax-exempt AbilityOne non-profit manufacturer headquartered in West Allis, operates as a prime contractor delivering industrial supplies, office furniture, promotional merchandise, uniforms, apparel, and facility support services to federal agencies through full-and-open competition—no set-asides characterize its federal footprint. The organization serves 382 distinct customer agencies and competes across commodity and services procurement without reliance on small-business protections, leveraging its mission to create employment for individuals who are blind or visually impaired as its core competitive positioning.
The vendor's award profile spans 9,938 prime awards (100% prime, 0% sub) with a combined potential value of $2.24 billion and $939.3 million obligated to date. Recent activity shows volume decline: 260 awards in 2022 dropped to 49 in the first three quarters of 2026, though the shift reflects maturation of large indefinite delivery contracts rather than lost capacity. The organization holds four significant multiyear IDVs anchoring its federal footprint: a $48 million indefinite delivery contract with Air Education and Training Command for Specialized Personnel Information Services (SPIS) customization and distribution through March 2030; a $37 million Coast Guard indefinite delivery contract for promotional incentive products through September 2029; a Basic Ordering Agreement with Air Combat Command for facility support at Beale Air Force Base through May 2027 (with a $4.99 million firm fixed-price delivery order issued August 2025); and a $2 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Health Agency for copy paper and related supplies through December 2030. These vehicles consolidate what would otherwise be hundreds of individual task orders into managed procurement streams.
Customer concentration is moderate but distinct. The top five customers by potential value account for 57% of the dollar footprint: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment ($516.7 million across 501 awards, primarily paint supplies, fasteners, tools, and facility items); GSA Federal Acquisition Service ($292.8 million across 588 awards on the Multiple Award Schedule); Air Education and Training Command ($205.1 million across 94 awards, mostly SPIS delivery orders); Navy Recruiting Command ($187.7 million across 257 promotional-item awards); and Census Bureau ($75.1 million across 113 awards). By award count, GSA, DLA, Naval Air Warfare Center, Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, and the Air Force lead. The divergence signals that DLA and AETC anchor dollars through large orders, while GSA and Navy volume comes from numerous smaller purchases, and NAWC sustains frequent delivery orders on its COPARS (Centrally Managed Organic Products and Repair Services) standing agreement worth $24.2 million across 107 task orders.
The vendor's top NAICS codes reflect its core manufacturing and supply profile: 3,149 awards under Paper Mills (NAICS 322121), 609 under Office Furniture Manufacturing (337211), and 442 under Hardware Stores (444130). PSC analysis reinforces this: 2,937 awards span Office Supplies (7310), 1,150 Office Furniture (7105), 514 Special Purpose Clothing (8405), 339 Toiletry Paper Products (7910), and 326 Hand Tools (5110). The vendor is a specialized commodity and light-manufacturing supplier, not a services firm.
Service Contract Inventory data, which covers federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, shows 32 SCI-reportable records across FY2022–FY2025. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $52.3 million (FY2023 peaked at $36.8 million; FY2024–2025 each carried $4.5–7.1 million). SCI FTE deliveries averaged 2.2–2.9 across the four-year window, indicating small labor-delivery contracts relative to the vendor's commodity-dominated footprint. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI records show a median of $1,761.13/hr with a 10th percentile at $0.00/hr (reflecting blended task rates or zero-dollar modifications) and 90th percentile at $19,047.96/hr. The vendor performs zero subcontractor hours on SCI-reportable prime contracts, building all delivery in-house. GSA Schedule labor rates span four categories ($62.45–$73.58/hr) at high-school education level with one year of experience required and no security clearances, positioning the vendor for low-skill warehouse, order-fulfillment, and laborer roles rather than professional services.
Teaming posture is prime-focused: the vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor across its 9,938 awards, with no named sub-award activity in the source. When the vendor does subcontract work, it does so as a sub to other large defense primes on specific projects rather than carrying a sub portfolio; the SCI data shows zero sub-hours across prime records, confirming all delivery is in-house. This positions IFBVI as a direct supplier to federal agencies and a manufacturing-centric prime rather than a subcontractor or systems integrator.
Recompete risk is modest: 17 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next 24 months carry combined potential value of $21.9 million, concentrated in smaller commodity orders rather than the major IDVs (which extend through 2027–2030). The four anchor contracts—Coast Guard, AETC, Air Combat Command, and Defense Health Agency vehicles—are not in recompete window and secure the vendor's core federal revenue stream through the medium term.
The organization carries no exclusive set-aside certifications and does not market itself via 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB programs. Instead, it competes full-and-open, leveraging AbilityOne non-profit status and its established track record as a reliable commodity supplier. This posture has delivered sustained federal procurement success across a broad customer base, with award volume and dollars reflecting the vendor's capacity to serve routine commodity and low-complexity facility-support requirements across defense and civilian agencies.
