The successful operation of a facility requires at a minimum a 40% gross 20% net profit to provide gainful employment for the vendor. The competitive factors involved and the economic factors related to the profitable operation of the facility along with the needs of the owner shall be the basis for the determination of prices. The Office of Blindness and Visual Services (BVS) will provide intensive assistance to a vendor who consistently operates below the stated profit margin. If the persistent efforts of the vendor and the staff fail to raise the level of profits, BVS will consider closing the facility.
