The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled announced the removal of certain products and services from the Procurement List. These items and services were previously supplied by nonprofits that employ people with severe disabilities. The committee concluded these items are no longer suitable for federal procurement under the relevant laws and regulations. This change may allow small entities the opportunity to supply these products and services to the government; it is not expected to impose additional requirements on them.
Simple Explanation
The government has decided to stop buying certain items and services from groups that help people with disabilities make or do things. This means other businesses can now try to sell these items to the government instead.
