SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or 
Severely Disabled is an independent Federal agency operating as the 
U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It 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.
    Registration: Attendees not requesting speaking time should 
register not later than October 22, 2025. Attendees requesting speaking 
time must register not later than October 15, 2025, and use the comment 
fields in the registration form to specify the intended speaking 
topic(s). The registration link will be available on the Commission's 
home page, <a href="http://www.abilityone.gov">www.abilityone.gov</a>, under News and Events.
    Commission Statement: This regular quarterly meeting will include 
updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director, and Acting 
Inspector General. The Commission will also recognize October as 
National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).
    Public Participation: The public engagement session will explore 
nontraditional and emerging service capabilities, including in the 
professional services category, that the Commission and AbilityOne 
Program participants should explore to create new employment 
opportunities for Americans who are blind or have significant 
disabilities. For the purposes of this session, emerging service 
capabilities include (1) a new or significantly improved ability to 
deliver a service, and/or (2) a nascent capability that is currently 
being tested or employed in the AbilityOne Program. Speakers are also 
invited to answer the question, ``How can the AbilityOne Program 
identify and prepare for the service jobs of the future?''
    The Commission looks forward to receiving comments and suggestions 
on this important topic. During registration, you may choose to submit 
comments, or you may request speaking time at the meeting. The 
Commission may invite some attendees who submit advance comments to 
discuss their comments during the meeting. Comments submitted will be 
reviewed by staff and the Commission members before the meeting. 
Comments posted in the chat box during the meeting will be shared with 
the Commission members after the meeting. The Commission is not subject 
to the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(b); however, the Commission 
published this notice to encourage the broadest possible public 
participation in its meeting.
    Personal Information: Speakers should not include any information 
that they do not want publicly disclosed.

Michael R. Jurkowski,
Director, Business Operations.
