Government Contracting

MVLE’s partnership with the AbilityOne program began in 1994. AbilityOne is a federal initiative that helps persons who are blind or severely disabled find employment with non-profit organizations that provide products and/or services to government agencies. MVLE is one of 600 community-based organizations in the AbilityOne nationwide network.

HOW WE WORK WITH GOVERNMENT AFFILIATED CONTRACTORS

MVLE, an Ability One provider, provides a diverse set of capabilities to the Government Prime Contractor. Our ability to support our customers through subcontracting can be in any number of areas, as shown below. We are proud that thanks to a Mentor Protégé Agreement, both MVLE and Northrop Grumman were awarded the prestigious Nunn-Perry Award in 2013 for outstanding performance on the first ever MPA awarded to an Ability One provider.

WE WORK WITH VIRGINIA CONTRACTORS TOO

MVLE has also expanded its business footprint in Virginia with the Approved House Bill 1288 from March 29, 2016. Bill 1288 states that contracts and subcontracts awarded to employment services organizations shall be credited toward a contractor’s small, women-owned, and minority-owned business contracting and subcontracting goals.
