From the ILR-INFO listserv:

For nearly seventeen years, the National Foreign Language Center (NFLC) at the University of Maryland has been a developer of foreign language learning and assessment materials for Government clients. To date, the NFLC has worked in more than one hundred languages and regional dialects to produce for the Government over 13,700 units, including Assessment Objects, Language Learning Objects, Video Learning Objects, and Thematic Units. While all of these materials have been available through the Joint Language University (JLU), the majority of them have not been available outside of the JLU system.

In 2014, the NFLC built an e-learning portal to make this vast resource available to wider audience. A small monthly subscription helps the NFLC to keep the website updated with new learning materials as they are created. Subscriptions are available to individuals and groups, with groups receiving the added benefit of central management of their users and tiered discounts on subscription rates.

More information about NFLC language materials and samples of each type are available at the NFLC website.
