Purchase Order 12444626P0007

The U.S. Forest Service awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $19,921.15 to Lighthouse For The Blind, operating as LHB Industries, for tree marking paint on February 5, 2026. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed in Medford, Wisconsin, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026. LHB Industries is a non-profit AbilityOne subsidiary of The Lighthouse For The Blind, headquartered in Berkeley, Missouri, and is a key federal supplier of forestry management products.

LHB Industries has established itself as a primary contractor to the USDA Forest Service through an existing $35 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity blanket purchase agreement for tree marking paint and associated forestry supplies. This purchase order represents a delivery against that broader IDIQ contract and reflects the organization's specialized manufacturing capabilities in providing colored marking paints and field marking supplies used for selective harvesting, replanting, and silvicultural activities across multiple states. Beyond forestry products, the parent organization maintains significant federal contract portfolios with the Department of Defense, Defense Logistics Agency, and Department of Veterans Affairs for medical equipment and specialized manufactured goods, all while fulfilling its mission of creating employment opportunities for individuals who are legally blind.
