Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled Public Hearing July 22, 2026

On July 22, 2026, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled will hold a Public Hearing.

The public engagement session will both celebrate the historic milestone of America250 and continue to emphasize “Innovation in AbilityOne Products and Domestic Manufacturing.” In keeping with these themes, speakers are invited to highlight examples of pride and patriotism within—and contributions of—the AbilityOne Program's 88-year history of Federal contracting. In addition, speakers are invited to highlight current domestic manufacturing within the AbilityOne Program including, but not limited to, examples of innovation, efficiency, speed, cost effectiveness, competitiveness, responsiveness to customer needs, reshoring/onshoring materials or components (to use domestic sources), and supply chain management. The Commission looks forward to receiving comments and suggestions on these topics.
