Utica nonprofit to add employees

The Central New York Business Journal reported that the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI) of Utica expects to add 15 jobs over the next six months after securing four contracts with government agencies worth $5.5 million annually over the next five years.

The new contracts call for CABVI to sell EMS 911 Exam Gloves to the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services, rubber bands to all agencies of the federal government except the United States Postal Service, men's pajamas to the Department of Veterans Affairs, and double-topped file folders to the federal government.

Additionally, the Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Homeland Security extended a contract for CABVI to supply gloves used at 460 airports across the country. The TSA contract amounts to $3 million annually. Read more here.
