    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled has decided to remove certain products and services from the Federal Government's Procurement List.

This decision is not expected to significantly impact small entities, as it does not impose new compliance requirements and may allow them to offer products and services to the government instead.

    Simple Explanation

    The list of things the government buys from special groups that help people who can't see or have big challenges is changing. Some things will be taken off this list soon, so other companies might get a chance to sell those things instead.
