Purchase Order SPE4A625V324D

The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation awarded a $133.4K firm fixed-price purchase order to San Antonio Lighthouse For The Blind, doing business as Vibrant Works, for instrumentation equipment. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of October 6, 2025, was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's ability to compete in open market procurements. The work will be performed in San Antonio, Texas. Vibrant Works is an AbilityOne-certified non-profit organization that specializes in manufacturing and supplying aviation components, tactical gear, and specialized military equipment while providing employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

This purchase order is consistent with Vibrant Works' established track record as a federal contractor supporting DLA Aviation operations. The organization currently holds an $81.4 million Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contract with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles and additional IDV agreements with DLA Aviation for specialized products such as spill containment socks and spectrometric oil sampling kits. These vehicles, which extend through 2030, demonstrate the contractor's capability to deliver mission-critical supplies and components across the defense and logistics sectors while maintaining its core social mission of supporting employment for individuals with visual impairments.
