Abstract
The General Services Administration (GSA) is amending the General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR) to provide more inclusive acquisition guidance for underserved communities by updating references from "handicapped individuals" to "individuals with disabilities," pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This rule supports underserved communities, promoting equity in the Federal Government.
