About the company
The Lighthouse For The Blind In New Orleans, Incorporated, an AbilityOne non-profit agency headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, manufactures and supplies compartmented mess trays, tableware, sporting goods, and miscellaneous goods to the federal government as a prime contractor. The organization operates as a tax-exempt non-profit with a mission centered on employment and empowerment of individuals with disabilities, competing in full-and-open federal procurement without set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint.
The vendor's portfolio is heavily concentrated with the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence, which accounts for 64 awards and $83.5 million of the organization's combined potential value—about 81% of its $103.4 million total federal footprint. Recent representative work includes a $1.039 million delivery order issued March 18, 2026, for compartmented mess tray manufacture and delivery under a single-award indefinite delivery contract with a $17.808 million ceiling; a $2.145 million delivery order from December 4, 2025; and a $1.04 million delivery order from October 9, 2025. All three were firm fixed-price awards with no set-aside designation and performance in New Orleans, Louisiana. The parent indefinite delivery contract with DLA has a ceiling of $17.8 million and a performance period through April 8, 2026. Beyond DLA, the vendor has worked with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 16 (4 awards, $6.7 million combined potential value), the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command (3 awards, $1.9 million), and the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District New Orleans (3 awards, $1.3 million), though these represent a distant secondary tier relative to DLA dominance.
The organization operates under two named parent IDICs, Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE3S116DZ206 and SPE3S121DZ236, which carry 33 combined task orders and $26.1 million in combined potential value. A Basic Ordering Agreement V797P2008 carries 121 task orders with $151 thousand combined potential value, and two Blanket Purchase Agreements (GS07FLHBSQ and GS07FLTBSQ) account for 30 additional task orders. Activity has remained flat over the past five years—three awards in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026—with only one award reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months (potential value $824 thousand), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's product portfolio spans tableware (313 awards), brooms, brushes, and cleaning supplies (178 awards), office supplies (68 awards), and household furnishings, with primary NAICS concentration in Sporting and Athletic Goods Manufacturing (178 awards), All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing (122 awards), and Nonfolding Sanitary Food Container Manufacturing (77 awards). The organization maintains no subcontract footprint and operates exclusively as a prime contractor across its 676 total federal awards.
