Proposed Deletions From Procurement List - Comments Due May 9, 2026
Summary
The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled proposes deleting 25+ products and services from the Procurement List, including M240 carrying cases, fire hoses, helmet covers, griddle cleaners, and floor pads. Affected nonprofit agencies include Chautauqua County Chapter NYSARC, NEWVIEW Oklahoma, Lions Volunteer Blind Industries, and Beacon Lighthouse. Comments are due May 9, 2026.
What changed
The Committee proposes deleting multiple products and services from the Procurement List that have been furnished by nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities under the AbilityOne Program. The proposed deletions include military items (M240 carrying case and strap, fire hose, helmet covers in multiple sizes), cleaning products (griddle cleaners, floor pads in various sizes and types), and other supplies that have been mandatory sources for government procurement.
Affected nonprofit agencies including Chautauqua County Chapter NYSARC (NY), NEWVIEW Oklahoma, Lions Volunteer Blind Industries (TN), and Beacon Lighthouse (TX) may lose their mandatory source status for these products, potentially impacting their revenue from federal contracts. Federal agencies including DoD, GSA, and DLA will need to procure these items from commercial sources once deleted.
What to do next
- Review the proposed deletions and assess impact on your organization if you are an authorized source of supply
- Submit comments by May 9, 2026 to Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled at 355 E Street SW, Suite 325, Washington, DC 20024 or via email to CMTEFedReg@AbilityOne.gov
- Identify alternative contracting opportunities if your products are removed from the Procurement List
