About the company
Lions Volunteer Blind Industries Inc., an AbilityOne non-profit manufacturer based in Morristown, Tennessee, manufactures sewn textile products—primarily military helmet covers and apparel accessories—as a subcontractor to defense primes and as a prime contractor on federal contracts and grants serving Department of Defense customers. The vendor operates as a tax-exempt entity and does not compete under SBA set-asides.
Lions Volunteer Blind Industries' capability footprint centers on textile manufacturing under NAICS 338110 (Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing) and PSC Clothing, Special Purpose. Recent subcontract work exemplifies the portfolio: Lions produced 21,162 units of sewn helmet covers for the Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System (NG IHPS) under Avon Protection Ceradyne LLC in May 2024 (fair opportunity award), 20,571 NG IHPS helmet covers under the same prime in August 2023, and 3,200 helmet cover units in multiple sizes under Avon Protection Ceradyne in February 2023. As a prime, Lions holds awards across apparel and accessories manufacturing for military customers.
Customer concentration sits heavily with defense: the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Soldier accounts for three awards (dollar value unspecified in source); the Defense Logistics Agency placed two awards; and the United States Marine Corps ($735 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command ($731 thousand combined potential value), and the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command ($661 thousand combined potential value) round out the five named customers that account for 89% of awards by count. Lions holds three task orders under the Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System vehicle and one task order under Defense Logistics Agency Basic Ordering Agreement DLA10088FEG28.
Activity is sparse and episodic—nine total awards spanning 1988 to May 2024, with only four awards in the past five years (one in 2010, one in 2012, one in 2013, two in 2023, one in 2024). Combined potential value across all awards is $2.1 million, though combined dollars obligated ($4.6 million) indicates work scope has exceeded original contract ceiling estimates. No near-term recompete cliff is evident in the source data.
