    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled has decided to remove certain products and services from their Procurement List. This means items like paper bowls from The Lighthouse for the Blind in New Orleans, Inc. and services like medical transcription and switchboard operations, often provided by nonprofit agencies, can now be sourced from other suppliers. The removal is effective from May 11, 2025, and is not expected to heavily impact small businesses. This decision allows more variety in who can supply these products and services to government agencies.

    Simple Explanation

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled is letting other companies sell certain things, like paper bowls, to the government instead of just nonprofits that help people who are blind or have disabilities. This change starts on May 11, 2025, and it should give more choices for where the government can buy these things.
