February 12, 2007 - AbilityOne Updated Pricing - Please see the attached memorandum regarding updates to the pricing procedures for products and services procured from nonprofit agencies under the Javits-Wagner-O’DayAct (41 U.S.C. 46-48c). The Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee) is the Federal agency that administers the AbilityOne (formerly JWOD) Program. The Committee implements a procurement program within the Federal Government to increase employment opportunities for people who are blind or severely disabled. The pricing procedures implemented within the Committee’s pricing memoranda derive authority from the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act, as implemented through Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart8.7, 41 CFR Chapter 51, and OMB Circular A-122.
