Some of the bags do not come with twist ties, so you'll need to order some from DoD EMALL. Manufacturer's part number TO13 brings 100 paper-coated 8-in ties. Part number T002 brings 100 plastic-coated 8-in ties.

ALL BAGS ARE MANUFACTURED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE SIGHT-IMPAIRED AND ARE LISTED ON THE JAVITS-WAGNER-O'DAY (JWOD) PROGRAM PROCUREMENT LIST.

PURCHASING THESE BAGS ASSISTS THE ARMY IN ITS SUPPORT OF CREATING JOBS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
