Golight, Inc.

Golight, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of remote-controlled and handheld lighting equipment based in Culbertson, Nebraska, operates as a prime contractor to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the U.S. Coast Guard, and other federal customers on a 100% prime basis—no subcontract work appears in the federal record. The vendor competes across full-and-open solicitations with no SBA set-aside designations on the majority of its awards, though a single Coast Guard purchase order (valued at $85,041, awarded July 2023) was set aside for Total Small Business.

Golight's federal footprint is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency, which accounts for 87% of all awards by count and 99% of combined potential value. DLA Land and Maritime anchors the relationship with 128 awards (combined potential value $40.9 million) covering spotlights, lens assemblies, light extensions, switch assemblies, and searchlight sets, primarily for military logistics and maintenance operations. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment has issued 58 awards ($2.7 million) for the same product categories, and DLA Aviation has placed 12 awards ($3.2 million). The U.S. Coast Guard (11 awards, $168 thousand) and the Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (9 awards, $74 thousand) round out the active customer base. Golight's product portfolio centers on two PSC categories: Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures (132 awards) and Electric Portable and Hand Lighting Equipment (53 awards), with secondary exposure to indoor/outdoor lighting fixtures and night vision equipment.

Golight holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with DLA. The largest is IDC SPE7MX20D0080, with a $3.2 million ceiling awarded May 2020 and partially set aside for small businesses, which has generated 10 task orders ($1.1 million combined potential value). IDC SPM7LX13D0077 carries 10 task orders ($4.4 million combined potential value). IDC SPE7MX16D0114 has generated 20 task orders ($1.3 million). Golight also holds a seat on GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS07F9260S, from which six task orders ($66 thousand) have been issued.

Recent activity has declined sharply: 14 awards in 2022 and 13 in 2023 compressed to 10 in 2024, with only two in 2025 and one in 2026 (as of March 18). Combined potential value across all 251 awards stands at $47.6 million, with $19.3 million obligated (40% utilization). The award record spans from February 2004 to March 2026, indicating a long-standing DLA relationship. Golight manufactures all products at its Culbertson, Nebraska facility, where all contracts specify place of performance. The vendor's federal work consists entirely of firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders under $1 million to $210 thousand in recent value, with the typical spotlight or lens assembly order ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of dollars.
