The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled is considering changes to the Procurement List, which involves adding new products supplied by nonprofits that employ people with disabilities, and removing some products and services that are currently provided by such organizations. They propose adding products like medical scopes and accessories, to be supplied by agencies like Alphapointe and BOSMA Enterprises, and plan to remove items like chemical protection clothing and some services. The Committee invites public comments on these changes by March 23, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Committee wants to add some new things to a list that helps blind and disabled people get jobs by making important items, like medical tools. They will also take away other things from the list, like certain clothes used for protection, and they want to hear what people think about these changes.
