About the company
The Lighthouse For The Blind, Incorporated, an AbilityOne nonprofit manufacturer and federal logistics provider headquartered in Seattle, Washington, supplies commercial goods and material handling equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor across GSA and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) vehicles, competing in the full-and-open marketplace without set-aside designation. The organization employs individuals who are blind, DeafBlind, and blind with other disabilities and has held federal contractor status since at least 2002.
The Lighthouse's federal footprint is dominated by high-volume, transactional supply fulfillment work. Its capability portfolio centers on office supplies, material handling equipment, protective apparel, tactical equipment, military clothing and textiles, and miscellaneous commercial goods. Representative recent work includes a $7,702.97 BPA call from GSA Federal Acquisition Service for SPEEDCROSS 6 footwear under the Fourth Party Logistics program (October 2026), a $13,541.52 BPA call for Carbone 2M wetsuits under Fourth Party Logistics (September 30, 2026), and a $12,867.60 BPA call for HEL-STAR 6 infrared gear under Fourth Party Logistics (September 30, 2026). The Lighthouse also holds a $7,699,860 single-award IDIQ with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (awarded July 8, 2026, running through July 7, 2029) for supply of clothing and textiles to federal agencies.
Customer concentration is extreme. GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates by award count—36,882 awards representing $100 million in combined potential value—but by dollar value the picture shifts dramatically. DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles anchors the portfolio at 273 awards worth $559.4 million combined potential value, and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 91 awards worth $516.4 million. Together, these two DLA divisions represent over 53% of the vendor's combined potential value across its entire federal portfolio. The top five customers by potential value account for significant concentration: DLA Clothing and Textiles, DLA Construction and Equipment, GSA, the Army's PEO Soldier ($57.6 million across 14 awards), and DLA broadly. The source indicates 95 distinct customer agencies served, but dollar and order concentration runs heavily toward GSA transactional work and DLA supply contracts.
The Lighthouse places the vast majority of its work under two GSA BPAs: Blanket Purchase Agreement GS23FGA014 (20,286 task orders, $91.7 million combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QSCC20T0005 (16,965 task orders, $3 million combined potential value). These vehicles handle high-volume, low-unit-value orders typically completed within one to two weeks. A third vehicle, Federal Supply Schedule GS14F1203H, carries 668 task orders valued at $71 thousand combined. The IDIQ with DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (SPE8EZ21D0015) generated 81 task orders worth $6.2 million. Recent activity has declined significantly: awards per year dropped from 8,364 in 2023 to 7,639 in 2024, 6,852 in 2025, and 2,559 through October 2026—reflecting contract consolidation and market dynamics in federal supply fulfillment. Only nine awards totaling $9.3 million in combined potential value face recompete within the next twenty-four months, reducing near-term recompete cliff exposure.
The Lighthouse operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the source records only one sub-award in its 39,750-award portfolio (a flip-top squirt dispenser cap development sub-award from an Information Analysis Center Multiple Award Contract, July 2025). Award volume is skewed to two NAICS categories: Office Supplies and Stationery Stores (20,321 awards) and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers (16,966 awards), reflecting the vendor's positioning in transactional supply and material handling equipment distribution. The organization manufactures goods in-house while operating as a federal logistics hub, fulfilling orders for office supplies, protective equipment, and tactical goods across GSA and DLA supply programs. The portfolio shows combined potential value of $2.37 billion across all federal sources, with $467.6 million obligated (20% of ceiling value), consistent with the high-volume, rapid-turnover nature of BPA call ordering.
