About Louisiana Association For The Blind

Louisiana Association For The Blind, an AbilityOne non-profit agency headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, manufactures and supplies marine non-skid products, office furniture, converted paper goods, and specialty manufacturing items to federal agencies as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) without set-aside designation. The organization operates under the AbilityOne program, which designates it as a federal contractor while providing employment and rehabilitation services to individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

The Coast Guard dominates LAB's customer base and dollar concentration. The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard accounts for 154 awards (covering 64% of recent prime awards) and $15.9 million in combined potential value across the entire portfolio — anchored by a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $3.789 million running through September 2026 for marine non-skid parts and kits. Within the past two years, LAB has received multiple Coast Guard delivery orders: a $404 thousand order for non-skid kits and nonmetallic tread (April 2026), a $177 thousand delivery order for non-skid kits and thread metallic (April 2025), and a $118 thousand order for nonmetallic nonskid tread (May 2025), among dozens of smaller orders ranging from $3 thousand to $572 thousand. The Defense Logistics Agency Logistics Information Service ranks second with $10 million in combined potential value across five awards. The Department of the Navy (across Fleet Forces Command Atlantic, Pacific Fleet Forces, and Naval Sea Systems Command) and the General Services Administration round out the top customers, collectively accounting for the balance of the 80% coverage figure.

The vendor's product portfolio clusters around four NAICS categories. Office Furniture Manufacturing (106 awards), Abrasive Product Manufacturing (88 awards), All Other Converted Paper Product Manufacturing (62 awards, including copy paper sold to the Federal Correctional Institution Herlong and Federal Correctional Institution Ashland), and Stationery and Related Products Manufacturing (35 awards) constitute the bulk of LAB's capability. Product-level service code concentration mirrors this: Floor Coverings (114 awards, the non-skid marine tread and non-skid kit category), Office Furniture (106 awards), Stationery and Record Forms (88 awards), and Marine Hardware and Hull Items (71 awards) reflect the breadth of LAB's manufacturing. Recent awards include $36 thousand for copy paper to Federal Correctional Institution Herlong (June 2024) and $81 thousand for SFS deployment gear to the Air Force's Global Strike Command (December 2023) under a $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement. LAB holds five named Indefinite Delivery Contracts and Blanket Purchase Agreements: the Coast Guard IDC noted above, the Air Force Global Strike Command $5 million BPA for clothing and deployment items, and three additional GSA and Navy IDCs generating 37 combined task orders worth $4.6 million.

Activity has remained modest in recent years — four awards in 2026, six in 2025, four in 2024, seven in 2023, and two in 2022 — after a long operational history dating to 1988. The portfolio spans 33 distinct federal customer agencies and carries $15.8 million in obligated dollars against $35.1 million in combined potential value. LAB has received one sub-award (2026, supplies purchase), indicating a prime-focused posture with minimal sub-contracting activity.
