About South Texas Lighthouse For The Blind Foundation

South Texas Lighthouse For The Blind Foundation, doing business as South Texas Lighthouse For The Blind, is an AbilityOne nonprofit organization based in Corpus Christi, Texas, that manufactures and supplies diverse federal procurement categories—personal protective equipment, clothing and textiles, office supplies, construction materials, electronics, industrial chemicals, and civil engineering supply store operations—as a prime contractor across 95 federal agencies with no subcontract footprint (100% prime). The foundation competes exclusively in open federal procurement without set-aside restrictions, leveraging its AbilityOne status to deliver goods and services while creating employment for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

The foundation's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward defense logistics and Air Force operations. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 80% of combined award dollars: Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment (106 awards, $515.1 million), Naval Supply Systems Command (21 awards, $147.2 million), Air Force Global Strike Command (87 awards, $112.9 million), GSA Federal Acquisition Service (41 awards, $48.1 million), and Air Force Air Combat Command (19 awards, $40 million). Recent capability work spans routine consumable supplies—toilet paper, paper towels, copy paper delivered to Bureau of Prisons facilities; neck gaiters and flyers' gloves to Defense Logistics Agency; deployment gear and cold weather equipment to Air Mobility Command—alongside more specialized procurements including a $10.4 million definitive contract for safety store operations at Corpus Christi Army Depot (awarded July 2025, completion July 2030) and substantial indefinite delivery contracts for civil engineering supply store operations at multiple Air Force bases.

The foundation holds five major indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest is a $142.3 million single-award contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (awarded August 2024, completion September 2026) for brand name commercial items resale across five Navy Exchange geographic zones (San Diego, Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, Norfolk, Mayport). Air Force Global Strike Command carries a $25 million single-award IDC (awarded October 2023, completion September 2028) for Contractor Operated Civil Engineering Supply Store operations at Malmstrom Air Force Base. Air Education and Training Command awarded a $9 million single-award IDC (October 2024, September 2029) for COCESS operations at Altus Air Force Base. The foundation also holds a $2.66 million single-award clothing and textiles contract with Defense Logistics Agency (awarded September 2025, September 2029) and a $2.35 million indefinite delivery vehicle with DLA Clothing and Textiles for flyers' gloves (February 2022 through February 2027). Against the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule, the foundation has issued 194 task orders valued at $6 million combined. Under the Defense Logistics Agency IDC SPE8EZ21D0014, 105 task orders carry $5.1 million in combined potential value.

Activity has grown substantially. Awards increased from 48 in 2022 to 93 in 2025—a year-over-year trajectory of growth interrupted only by a moderately level 2024 (48 awards). Eleven awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $4.4 million and face recompete exposure in that window. The foundation operates primarily from Corpus Christi, Texas; some COCESS operations occur at remote Air Force installations (Malmstrom, Whiteman, Altus Air Force Bases). The corporate structure includes one named subsidiary, C C Distributors, Inc., a for-profit entity.

The foundation's award portfolio is concentrated in commodity and supply categories. The top NAICS codes are Hat, Cap, and Millinery Manufacturing (333 awards); Stationery and Office Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (177 awards); Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (127 awards); and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (106 awards). By Procurement Service Code, Clothing, Special Purpose dominates (459 awards), followed by Office Supplies (184 awards), Toiletry Paper Products (75 awards), and Miscellaneous Materials Handling Equipment (57 awards). This portfolio structure reflects the foundation's dual mission: federal supply chain delivery across a broad commodity footprint while maintaining high-volume employment for individuals with visual impairments through manufacturing and distribution operations. All recent awards carry firm fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment structures and no small-business set-aside designations, positioning the foundation as a competitive prime contractor in unrestricted federal procurement rather than a set-aside specialist.
