Purchase Order 12444626P0023

The U.S. Forest Service (Region 9 - Eastern Region) awarded a purchase order valued at $53,569.23 to LHB Industries, the manufacturing subsidiary of The Lighthouse For The Blind, for timber marking paint to support operations in the Huron Shores District. The contract, which carries a firm fixed price structure with no set-aside designation, has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026, and reflects the Forest Service's continued reliance on this non-profit AbilityOne contractor for specialized forestry supplies. LHB Industries is headquartered in Berkeley, Missouri, and serves as the prime contractor on this procurement.

This purchase order derives from LHB Industries' broader $35 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity blanket purchase agreement with the USDA Forest Service for tree marking paint and associated forestry supplies, which supports sustainable forest management activities across 16 states. The Lighthouse For The Blind organization, the parent entity, operates as a mission-driven manufacturer dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals who are legally blind while maintaining competitive federal contracting capabilities. Beyond forestry supplies, the organization has established itself as a versatile federal contractor with significant contracts across the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Defense Logistics Agency for medical equipment and specialized manufactured goods.
