Procurement

The Commission maintains a Procurement List of products and services which have been placed in the AbilityOne® Program, as referenced in FAR Subparts 8.0 and 8.7. Once a product or service is on the Procurement List, the Government must buy it from the organization designated by the Commission until the government no longer has requirements for that item, or until a nonprofit agency employing people who are blind or have with severe significant disabilities can no longer furnish that item.

In addition to the many products available under the AbilityOne Program, people who are blind or have other severe disabilities also provide a wide range of services to meet the needs of Federal customers. Each service contract is added to the AbilityOne Program individually with the involvement and cooperation of the Federal contracting activity.

Services can be found on the Procurement List, but it is important to remember that the Procurement List does not include an exhaustive list of services that can be provided under the AbilityOne Program. The capabilities of AbilityOne-participating nonprofit agencies are endless, therefore, Federal customers should contact the appropriate NIB or NISH office for more information about AbilityOne service capabilities in your area.
