Proposed Deletions from Procurement List
Summary
The AbilityOne Commission published a notice proposing to delete approximately 20 products from the Procurement List, affecting nonprofit agencies that employ blind or severely disabled individuals. The products include military carrying cases, helmet covers, fire hoses, griddle cleaners, and floor pads. Comments on the proposed deletions must be submitted by May 9, 2026.
What changed
The AbilityOne Commission published this notice proposing to remove multiple products from the Federal Procurement List, including military equipment (M240 carrying cases, fire hoses, helmet covers), cleaning products (griddle cleaners, floor polishing/buffing pads), and other items. Each product lists an authorized nonprofit source of supply and the government contracting activities that currently require the item.
Affected parties include nonprofit agencies employing blind or severely disabled workers, and government contracting activities in DoD, GSA, and DLA that currently procure these items on a mandatory basis. If the deletions are finalized, contracting activities may need to source these products through commercial vendors instead of AbilityOne program nonprofits.
What to do next
- Review the proposed deletion list to identify any affected supply contracts
- Submit comments to the AbilityOne Commission by May 9, 2026 if opposing any proposed deletion
- Notify nonprofit agency partners supplying affected products
