  • 2024-31548 — Procurement List; Additions and Deletions
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 308
    Reading Time:about 14 minutes

    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. These products were previously provided by nonprofit agencies that employ people with visual impairments or other severe disabilities. The removal, effective February 2, 2025, means these products are no longer suitable for government procurement under existing regulations. 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.

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled is proposing to add certain products and services to its Procurement List. This list includes products like pizza slicers, salad savers, and pot lid stands, as well as services provided at various military and government locations across the United States. These items and services would be supplied by nonprofit agencies that employ individuals who are blind or have severe disabilities. The proposal invites public comments to be submitted by February 14, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled wants to let people know they plan to buy certain items and services, like pizza cutters and work at military bases, from special groups that help people who can't see well or have other big challenges. They hope to hear from people who have thoughts about this idea before next month.
