About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

National Industries For The Blind, a tax-exempt nonprofit AbilityOne agency headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, manufactures and supplies facility maintenance products, office supplies, personal protective equipment, and military apparel and textile products to federal agencies as a prime contractor across GSA and Department of Defense programs, with no subcontractor footprint in recent awards.

The organization's federal footprint is dominated by GSA Federal Acquisition Service delivery orders — 1,864,044 awards carrying $12.82 billion in combined potential value and representing 83% of recent volume. The bulk of this work involves low-dollar consumable goods: paper products (toilet paper, paper plates, towels), cleaning supplies and compounds, disposable gloves, office supplies (pens, markers, folders, binders), eating and utility items (bowls, cups, forks), and facility-maintenance tools and equipment (mops, squeegees, brooms, brushes). Representative recent delivery orders from October 2026 include $57,372 for paper plates, $32,317.50 for disposable cups, $21,650.50 for toilet paper, and $4,189.05 for picnic knives — all firm-fixed-price orders under GSA FAS with completion dates within days or weeks. A larger single-award indefinite-delivery contract from the Defense Logistics Agency's Clothing and Textiles division ($44.8 million ceiling, running through May 2028) covers military apparel and textile products; an initial delivery order under that vehicle was valued at $4.77 million for combat shirts and Army Combat Uniform components. Department of the Army programs account for the second-largest customer base by volume (123,270 awards, $56.8 million combined potential value) but are substantially smaller in individual order magnitude than the GSA FAS work.

The vendor's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 16 categories from entry-level mail room and data-entry roles ($20.80–$32.50/hr) through clerical, shipping, and project-management positions ($37–$62/hr) to supervisory roles at $94.11/hr. Education requirements range from high school to bachelor's degree; no security-cleared roles are offered. This labor-rate spectrum reflects the vendor's operational model: low-overhead administrative and fulfillment-support roles rather than technical or professional services.

Service Contract Inventory data for FY2022–FY2025 shows SCI-reportable invoicing of $9.1 million across 13 prime records, with median government-paid hourly rates around $66/hr and sub-hours averaging 77% of total contractor hours — a signal that where the vendor does sell services above the SCI reporting threshold, it relies on subcontractors for most delivery. However, this SCI activity is a negligible fraction of the vendor's broader $24.12 billion combined potential value across all awards, which is heavily weighted toward goods procurement rather than billable services.

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year, with 248,341 awards in 2022 declining modestly to 210,892 in 2026. Approximately 940 awards (combined potential value $64.3 million) face recompete within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's product categories concentrate in office supplies and stationery (1,002,423 awards), service-industry equipment and supplies wholesaling (699,666 awards), and manufacturing of machinery, office furniture, and paper products. As an AbilityOne agency, National Industries For The Blind operates under the AbilityOne Program, which provides mandatory federal procurement authority for goods and services manufactured or provided by blind or significantly visually disabled workers, and does not compete for set-asides — its awards are full-and-open but carry the AbilityOne preferential procurement mandate.
