The Company
PCSI has two primary customers: the Federal Government
and the State of Texas. We are a nonprofit agency which provides
services under the AbilityOne (Formerly JWOD) and Texas
Industries for the Blind and Handicapped (TIBH) programs.
Current services that we provide are: Hospital Housekeeping,
Facilities Maintenance & Engineering, Grounds Maintenance, Custodial Services, Food Services, Vehicle Operations &
Maintenance, Commissary, Administrative Services, and Warehouse Operations.
PCSI operates on a nationwide basis. We operate in excess of 40
contracts in five states. PCSI currently employs approximately
1000 individuals.
As the Federal Government and Military continue to downsize
and face increasing pressure in recruiting and retention we are
very confident that business will increase in services that we provide.
AbilityOne and TIBH compete with the normal business world in
determining what option the buying activity (Federal or State
Governments) would like to pursue. The buying activity will compare
AbilityOne or TIBH to many other options including small business,
large business, low sealed bid, and full and open competition.
Major factors in this selection are: Past Performance, AbilityOne
or TIBH program guideline, Costs, Technical Capability and Customer
Input.

The History
PCSI was formed in June of 1996 for the purpose of
providing employment opportunities for people with
disabilities through the performance of State and
Federal Contracts under the Texas State Use Program
(TIBH) and the Ability One program.
When PCSI opened for business the founding
members of PCSI had in excess of 50 years experience
in performing service contracts for various State and
Federal Agencies. Our research indicated a need for an
organization with the Federal and State contracting background to
successfully place people with disabilities as they entered
the work force. We determined that the vast majority of
agencies performing services under AbilityOne and TIBH
at the time were primarily rehabilitation agencies who
became involved in contracting as a secondary line to
complete their mission of employing people with
disabilities. PCSI was different in the fact that we
were contract specialists who worked hand in hand with
the other rehabilitation agencies and our own rehabilitation
staff to successfully employ these individuals. We pooled
our strengths and resources to develop long lasting employment
solutions. We were convinced the future of the respective
programs and the growth of PCSI itself were dependant on
delivering success stories to our customers and employees.
Today PCSI offers rehabilitation, training and employment
opportunities for people with disabilities through a variety
of diverse contracts.
PCSI operates solely on revenues generated from the
services we provide. We do not solicit or count on grants or government subsidies to fund our operations.
We are completely self-sufficient. PCSI prides
itself on the quality and performance of our service and the
diverse employment opportunities we provide for people with
disabilities.
From that humble beginning in 1996, with three employees,
PCSI has grown to over 40 Federal and State contracts in
five states, employing and empowering over 1000 individuals.
