Short description

BAC (Brevard Achievement Center) is a Florida-based 501(c)-style nonprofit founded in 1968 that operates federal and commercial service contracts under the AbilityOne Program to employ individuals with disabilities. Its portfolio spans IT services (including a DMDC contact center handling thousands of weekly tickets), facilities management across 700+ federal buildings, AS9100D-certified cable assembly, commissary and food services, logistics, and packaging, delivered across the southeast U.S. from Virginia to Puerto Rico. The organization runs a multi-line service business backed by ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D, CIMS-Green Building with Honors, CMMC-aligned cybersecurity, Section 508 Trusted Tester, ITIL 4, and ServiceNow certifications — credentials that gate access to specialized federal procurements. Revenue is generated through competitive-bid, multi-year government and commercial contracts under the AbilityOne Program, supplemented by commercial cable assembly and packaging work, plus participant-funded LaunchIT IT training delivered in partnership with Codecraft Works and approved as a Miscellaneous Training program by Florida VR and Connecticut BRS. Beyond contracted services, BAC operates Direct Care programs (employment assistance, supported employment, Adult Day Training, benefits planning, career exploration) and the Studio at BAC arts programs, including the long-running annual Color in Motion Arts Festival. Governance rests with a Board of Directors chaired by Don Weiss, with executive leadership under President and CEO Amar Patel, VP Administration/CFO Ryan Rogers, and a senior team overseeing manufacturing, IT, facilities, and employment transition services.
