At IBVI, you’ll often hear our excitement when talking about our customer service capabilities, especially when new products are available to our customers through the AbilityOne® Procurement List (PL). The PL is a list of products and services that federal government agencies are required to purchase from nonprofit agencies that employ individuals who are blind or visually impaired. For us, it’s a win-win—not only do more products benefit our customers, but it also directly supports our mission to create jobs for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
Expanding Procurement, Creating More Jobs
Adding a product to the PL is a thorough process that takes time to secure approvals from the NIB, GSA, and the AbilityOne Commission. Although it can be a lengthy process, it is fulfilling to help ensure that our blind and visually impaired employees are able to have meaningful work.
New Utility Knives Coming Soon
IBVI will soon offer a wide variety of utility knives, ranging from standard-duty models with snap-off blades, to heavy-duty versions with cushioned grips and double-sided carbon steel blades. We’ll keep you updated on availability.
Additionally, the new folding knives will offer a line extension with a safe product that can slip into a pocket or clip onto a belt. IBVI already offers replacement blades (NSN 5110-01-621-5257) that fit the new folding knives. These knives will be used across federal agencies from warehouses, maintenance positions, office personnel, to military operations. Essentially, any daily task where a knife can make the job easier.
