About the company
Lions Services, Inc. Management Division, a Charlotte, North Carolina–based nonprofit AbilityOne organization, manufactures military and defense personal protective equipment and field gear for the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) on full-and-open federal contracts. The organization is tax-exempt and registered as a federal contractor since 2002; it provides employment to individuals who are blind or visually impaired while competing in the open federal marketplace without set-aside protections.
Lions Services operates almost entirely within a single customer vertical: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 99 awards valued at $343.9 million combined potential value—88% of the vendor's entire portfolio—across helmet nape retention devices, hydration carriers, field packs in Operational Camouflage Pattern, and related equipment. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier contributes 18 awards worth $29.5 million, chiefly for Improved Retention System (IRS) components. DLA Land and Maritime adds 31 awards for vehicle seat cushions ($6.9 million). Across the top five customer agencies accounting for 87% of all awards, DLA Troop Support's dollar concentration is exceptional: its $343.9 million sits against $29.5 million from the second-largest customer. The vendor has served nine distinct federal agencies in total.
Recent work exemplifies the core product portfolio. A $2.67 million firm fixed-price delivery order awarded September 9, 2024, covers helmet nape retention devices for Army personnel (ultimate completion February 26, 2026). A $4.46 million July 22, 2024 order from DLA furnishes hydration carriers; a $3.35 million July 31, 2024 order covers 4,000 MOLLE 4000 field packs in OCP. On the IRS side, Lions delivered 18,268 units under a $569,779 Army PEO Soldier order in 2022–2023. Lions holds five primary IDVs with DLA: a $36.3 million single-award contract awarded April 16, 2026 (running through April 2031) for helmet nape retention devices, hydration carriers, field packs, and vehicle seat cushions; a $21.1 million single-award vehicle (awarded December 12, 2023, through December 2026) for helmet nape retention devices alone; a $17.3 million hydration-carrier IDV (May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2027); a $13.4 million field-pack vehicle (July 18, 2024, through July 2027); and a $1.3 million helmet nape retention IDV (January 4, 2024, through January 2027). These vehicles collectively anchor the bulk of Lions Services' task-order flow.
Activity has remained episodic but resilient. The vendor received 12 awards in 2022, dropped to five in 2023, rebounded to 15 in 2024, and has recorded three awards year-to-date in 2026 (as of April 29, 2026). Combined potential value across all 239 awards totals $388.4 million; obligated dollars stand at $157.4 million (41% draw-down). Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is modest: only three awards totaling $4.9 million carry ultimate completion dates before October 15, 2027. The vendor's NAICS concentration runs toward Cut and Sew Apparel Contractors (45 awards), Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (36), Motor Vehicle Seating and Interior Trim Manufacturing (23), and Textile Bag and Canvas Mills (18). PSC concentration mirrors this: Armor Personal (67 awards), Individual Equipment (47), Vehicular Furniture and Accessories (45), and Clothing Special Purpose (44). All work is performed at Lions Services' single manufacturing facility in Charlotte, North Carolina; the vendor operates no identified subcontract relationships and does not serve as a sub-recipient or subcontractor in the federal portfolio.
