 Federal CustomersFederal acquisition professionals and purchase card holders play an important role in the success of the AbilityOne® Program. Federal customers create employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities by purchasing AbilityOne products and services provided by nonprofit agencies employing such individuals, as well as by educating others in their respective agencies about the benefits of doing the same. AbilityOne Liaisons (Federal employees designated by their agency's Procurement Executive or other senior official to promote AbilityOne agency-wide) and AbilityOne Associate Liaisons (AbilityOne supporters in field offices or other divisions who volunteer to help promote AbilityOne within their areas) provide a crucial backbone of support for the Program. This diverse group of individuals plays a key role in generating AbilityOne employment opportunities nationwide. Federal acquisition professionals, purchase card holders and others responsible for purchasing decisions, as well as Federal employees who simply have an interest in disability issues and a willingness to help spread the word about AbilityOne to their co-workers, are welcome to join the AbilityOne Liaison Network! To help reduce the 70% unemployment rate that exists among Americans with disabilities by becoming a liaison, please contact your agency-wide AbilityOne Liaison or Eric Beale of the Commission staff at ebeale@abilityone.gov. |
