About Winston-Salem Industries For The Blind Inc.

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Winston-Salem Industries For The Blind Inc., doing business as IFB Solutions, manufactures protective apparel and textile products for the U.S. military as a prime contractor under full-and-open competition, leveraging its AbilityOne nonprofit status and mission as the nation's largest employer of individuals who are blind or visually impaired. The organization is a tax-exempt nonprofit entity headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with manufacturing operations in Winston-Salem and Asheville, North Carolina, competing without socioeconomic set-asides across a portfolio dominated by Defense Logistics Agency Clothing and Textiles procurement.

IFB Solutions' federal footprint centers on a single customer: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division accounts for 79 awards (26% of total awards by count) and $343.4 million in combined potential value (95% of all dollars). This extreme customer concentration reflects the vendor's strategic position as a supplier of military textile products, particularly fuel handler's trousers, fuel handler's coats, multi-purpose liners, and wet weather liners. Representative prime awards include a $149.6 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract running through June 1, 2031, for fuel handler's trousers and related protective apparel (awarded December 20, 2023), a $7.2 million delivery order for fuel handler's coats (January 26, 2024), a $6.55 million delivery order for multi-purpose liners (April 9, 2025), and a $3.714 million delivery order for fuel handler's coats (April 6, 2026). Secondary Air Force customers—Air Mobility Command, Air National Guard, and the broader Department of the Air Force—collectively represent less than $500 thousand across 19 awards. A single sub-grant award appears in the portfolio: a disaster-recovery sub-award from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (April 23, 2025).

Activity has declined over the past five years, dropping from six awards in 2022 to one in 2026. Two awards with ultimate completion dates falling within the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $10.3 million, representing minimal near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's Indefinite Delivery Contract portfolio includes five named vehicles, with the largest being SPE1C120DB084 (15 task orders, $17.1 million combined potential value) and SPE1C117DB016 (12 task orders, $52.6 million combined potential value). Across all 299 awards, $116.4 million has been obligated (32% of $360.5 million combined potential value), indicating substantial pipeline work in performance rather than new procurements. Top NAICS codes reflect the manufacturing focus: Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (149 awards), Men's and Boys' Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (35 awards), and Textile and Fabric Finishing Mills (13 awards). The PSC portfolio is similarly aligned, led by Medical and Surgical Instruments and Supplies (123 awards) and Outerwear, Men's (60 awards), a classification system artifact that does not diminish the predominance of textile manufacturing work for military clothing.
