Background:
The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled operates as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It is the independent Federal agency that oversees the AbilityOne Program, which provides employment opportunities through Federal contracts for people who are blind or have significant disabilities in the manufacture and delivery of products and services to the Federal Government. The Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. chapter 85) authorizes the contracts.
The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103-62), as amended by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-352), requires Federal agencies to update their strategic plans each presidential term and solicit input from stakeholders.
The draft FY 2026-2030 strategic plan includes three strategic objectives:
(1) Increase workforce participation by Americans who are blind or have significant disabilities.
(2) Drive value, efficiency, and accountability across the AbilityOne Program.
(3) Engage in partnerships to expand employment opportunities for Americans who are blind or have significant disabilities within and beyond the AbilityOne Program.
The plan also includes outcome goals, strategies, and performance measures to evaluate success, demonstrate impact, and ensure transparency.
The Commission will consider all comments received during the comment period. The Commission may use some comments to amend or modify the strategic plan, but commenters should note that this posting and any public comments are not subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551-559) and its implementing regulations.
