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.
