The U.S. Air Force awarded a $14,433.11 firm fixed-price purchase order to San Antonio Lighthouse For The Blind, operating as Vibrant Works, on September 16, 2025, for instrumentation equipment. The contract, which must be completed by November 17, 2025, is being performed in San Antonio, Texas. This award was made without a set-aside designation, demonstrating the contractor's ability to compete in open market procurements alongside other qualified vendors.
