Purchase Order 12444026P0027

The U.S. Forest Service awarded a purchase order to Lighthouse For The Blind, operating as LHB Industries, for timber marking paint supplies to support operations in the Womble Ranger District. The contract, valued at $9,334.61 with a firm fixed price structure, was awarded on February 17, 2026, and is scheduled for completion by March 16, 2026. This procurement was not designated as a set-aside contract. The work will be performed in Olivette, Missouri, and represents an individual order issued under the organization's broader relationship with the Forest Service.

This purchase order draws from LHB Industries' established track record as a supplier of specialized forestry products to the Forest Service. The parent organization, The Lighthouse For The Blind, holds a $35 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity blanket purchase agreement with the Forest Service for tree marking paint and related forestry supplies used across 16 states to support selective harvesting, replanting, and silvicultural activities. LHB Industries, a non-profit AbilityOne organization headquartered in Berkeley, Missouri, manufactures these products while providing employment opportunities for individuals who are legally blind. The organization has demonstrated its competitive capability to serve as a prime contractor across multiple federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs, in addition to its primary forestry supply mission.
