U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It oversees the AbilityOne Program, which
provides employment opportunities through Federal contracts for people

delivery of products and services to the Federal Government. The
Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. chapter 85) authorizes the
contracts.

Commission Statement: This regular quarterly public meeting will
include updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director,
and Acting Inspector General.
Public Participation: The public engagement session topic is

Speakers are invited to highlight examples including, but not limited
to, innovation, efficiency, speed, cost effectiveness, competitiveness,
responsiveness to customer needs, reshoring/onshoring materials or
components (to use domestic sources), supply chain management, and
products developed from domestic raw materials.
The Commission looks forward to receiving comments and suggestions
on the public engagement 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

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 participation
in its meeting.
