About the company
The Lighthouse For The Blind Lighthouse For The Blind Division, operating as Lighthouse For The Blind, is a non-profit AbilityOne manufacturer of specialized paints and forestry supplies that serves the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor, with 3,471 awards totaling $136.2 million in combined potential value across 24 customer agencies. The organization competes without set-aside restrictions on full-and-open basis across all work, leveraging its AbilityOne status and manufacturing capabilities rather than SBA protections.
The vendor's capability footprint is sharply concentrated in paint manufacturing and forestry products. Lighthouse For The Blind manufactures tree marking paint in multiple formulations—blue rain-resistant, orange rain-resistant, yellow rain-resistant, and tracer variants—used by the USDA Forest Service for selective harvesting, replanting, and silvicultural management across 16 states. Concrete recent work includes a $123 thousand purchase order from USDA Forest Service Region 9 for paint supporting Ontonagon operations (September 2026), a $95.9 million consolidated FY24 tree marking paint order from the Oregon-Washington Region (July 2024), a $201.3 million Williams Ranger District tree marking paint order from Region 3 (July 2024), and a $104.2 million Black Hills National Forest marking paint order from Region 2 (June 2027). The organization also manufactures adhesives, dyes, and miscellaneous chemical specialties, but paints dominate the portfolio: 3,209 awards carry Paint, Dopes, Varnishes, and Related Products PSC coding, with 2,304 awards under Paint and Coating Manufacturing NAICS and 858 under Paint, Varnish, and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers.
Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward two major relationships. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 1,505 awards worth $44.5 million combined potential value—43% of the portfolio by count and 33% by dollars. The USDA Forest Service dominates the remainder: Forest Service Region 9 (Eastern Region) holds 640 awards for $15.3 million; the broader Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions function anchors $15.3 million across 26 awards; Region 8 (Southern Region) represents 298 awards for $5.2 million; Region 2 (Rocky Mountain) carries 137 awards for $4.5 million; and Regions 6, 5, 3, 4, and 1 round out the footprint. The top five customers account for 81% of awards by count and 62% of combined potential value. This concentration creates both revenue stability through the DLA relationship and significant recompete exposure in forestry supplies.
The vendor sits on two major parent vehicles. Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8EG16D0015 (Defense Logistics Agency) generates 1,313 task orders totaling $11.6 million—the single largest vehicle by task order volume. Blanket Purchase Agreement 12318720A0005 (USDA Forest Service for Tree Marking Paint, awarded April 2020 with $35 million ceiling) supports 571 task orders valued at $15.2 million and represents the Forest Service's primary mechanism for rapid procurement of marking paints across multiple regions. Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE8EG16D0011 (DLA) carries 181 task orders for $1.7 million. These vehicles enable high-frequency transactional relationships with standing authority rather than competitive rebids for each order.
Activity has declined year over year—from 298 awards in 2022 to 68 in 2026 year-to-date—a 77% contraction that reflects either draw-down of standing inventory, consolidation of prior year orders into fewer, larger calls, or declining demand across customer agencies. Twelve awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $609 thousand in combined potential value, presenting limited recompete exposure in the immediate horizon against the $136.2 million total portfolio.
The vendor is a child division of The Lighthouse For The Blind parent organization, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The parent entity maintains additional federal contract vehicles for medical equipment and supplies, including a $241.6 million indefinite delivery contract with the U.S. Army Medical Command and basic ordering agreements with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense Logistics Agency. The corporate structure positions the subsidiary as a manufacturing operation dedicated to employment of individuals who are legally blind while serving federal agencies across diversified product categories—paints, adhesives, medical supplies, and forestry products—all routed through prime contracting relationships without subcontractors.
