About the company
Winston-Salem Industries For The Blind Inc., doing business as IFB Solutions, is an AbilityOne nonprofit manufacturer and federal supplier delivering office supplies, personal protective equipment, industrial components, and facility maintenance products to 185 federal agencies as a prime contractor on 24,791 awards totaling $1.73 billion in combined potential value. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements across GSA and agency-specific vehicles with no SBA designations beyond AbilityOne status.
IFB Solutions' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in high-volume, small-dollar commodity supply ordering. The top customer by award count is GSA Federal Acquisition Service, which accounts for 13,483 awards (54% of the total prime portfolio) under the Blanket Purchase Agreement GS23FGA043 (GSA Retail Operations 4th Party Logistics), a $21.5 million vehicle carrying 13,506 task orders. Typical GS23FGA043 orders span office supplies (paper, pens, highlighters, toner), personal protective equipment (gloves, boots, welding curtains, aprons), industrial components (drill bits, inserts, carbide tools, abrasive discs), and facility maintenance items (cleaning products, towels, batteries, shipping materials)—nearly all at unit prices under $10,000 and ultimate completion dates of 5 to 14 days. Representative recent awards include masking tape ($3,745), poly palm knit gloves ($1,155–$5,326), converter cartridge ($5,796–$11,961), and reusable bulk containers ($8,108). Place of performance is Rock Island, Illinois.
Dollar concentration tells a different story. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment organization anchors $514.8 million (30% of combined potential value) across 51 awards; the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles organization accounts for $323.5 million across 122 awards. The Defense Commissary Agency contributes $179 million across 67 awards, and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Central Office carries $59.1 million across 52 awards. These are substantially larger per-award magnitudes than the GSA retail supply stream, reflecting DLA supply contracts and prison commissary operations where IFB Solutions operates as a vendor of branded consumer goods and textiles. GSA Federal Acquisition Service ranks fifth in potential value at $28.7 million despite leading in award count, reflecting the small-dollar transactional nature of retail operations orders.
Beyond GS23FGA043, IFB Solutions holds position on the Multiple Award Schedule (453 task orders, $34.7 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract DJU4600003039 (438 task orders, $69.1 million), and several agency-specific IDCs including 15UC0C18D00001397 (72 task orders, $29.7 million) and 15UC0C21D00000262 (49 task orders, $21.7 million). In May 2026, the vendor was awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Army Southern Command for $150,000 (ceiling through May 2031) to supply office supplies supporting the Office of Military Commission administrative operations at Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay.
Activity has declined from a 2024 peak of 1,876 awards annually to 1,072 awards through October 2026—a 43% year-to-date decrease relative to the full 2024 baseline. Eleven awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $57.8 million and face recompete exposure. The vendor operates predominantly as a prime contractor; sub-awards represent fewer than 0.1% of the total portfolio (17 of 24,808 awards). A single SCI-reportable service contract appears in the data for FY2022 (0.9 FTEs as a named subcontractor on a $150,000+ contract), indicating the vendor's federal footprint is products and goods, not billable services.
