SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On June 18, 2026, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are 
Blind or Severely Disabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne 
Commission) published an initial notice of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List. (91 FR 36809). The Committee determined that the 
service listed below is suitable for procurement by the Federal 
Government and has added this service to the Procurement List as a 
mandatory purchase for the contracting activity listed. In accordance 
with 41 CFR 51-5.3(b), the mandatory purchase requirement is limited to 
he contracting activity at the location listed, and in accordance with 
41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has authorized the nonprofit agency listed 
as the authorized source of supply.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s) 
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, 
the Committee has determined that the service(s) listed below are 
suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 
8501-8506 and 41 CFR 51-2.4.

    2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the service(s) to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would

Deletions

    On September 17, 2026 (91 FR 58853), the Committee for Purchase 
From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of 
proposed deletions from the Procurement List. The Committee received 
one comment but did not see the comment until after posting the Notice 
of final deletion in the Federal Register on October 22, 2026 (91 FR 
66689). The commenter suggested that prior to proposing services for PL 
deletion the Commission should evaluate various employment-related 
consequences for individuals who are blind or have a significant 
disability. This service was proposed for deletion under 41 CFR 51-
6.8(b) because the Government agency was no longer procuring the 
service. As a result, further evaluation on potential employment 
impacts is neither required nor warranted.
    On September 24, 2026 (9/24/2026), the Committee for Purchase From 
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed 
deletions from the Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant 
to 41 U.S.C. 8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the product(s) listed below are no longer suitable 
for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501-8506 and 
41 CFR 51-2.4.
