These changes include adding custodial and janitorial services at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Springs, MD, and removing an automatic transmission filter parts kit and switchboard operation services from departments such as the Department of Veterans Affairs. The public is invited to submit comments on these proposed changes by January 19, 2025.

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled is making changes to its Procurement List. These changes include adding custodial services provided by MVLE, Inc. at the US Army's Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Springs, MD, and removing janitorial services at the Bureau of Land Management's Las Vegas District Office, which were previously provided by Opportunity Village. The amendments aim to support nonprofit agencies that employ people with disabilities by authorizing them to provide services to the government, without significantly impacting small businesses.

    Simple Explanation

    The Committee that helps people with disabilities get jobs is adding new cleaning work for a special research building and taking away some janitor jobs from another office. They're doing this to help more people with disabilities find work, but they don't say much about how much it will cost or why they picked these jobs.
