Gov't Eyes Changes to Disability-Made Goods Procurement List
Published Date: 9/11/2025
Notice
Summary
The Committee wants to remove some products and services from the special list that nonprofit groups, helping people who are blind or have serious disabilities, currently provide. This means those items might be bought elsewhere soon. If you’re involved, keep an eye on the changes—they could affect jobs and spending plans.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Nonprofits May Lose Federal Contracts
If your nonprofit employs people who are blind or have other severe disabilities, the Committee is proposing to delete some products and services your group currently provides from the Procurement List. That could make your nonprofit lose federal contracts and affect your organization’s revenue and spending plans.
Job Risk for Workers with Disabilities
If you are a person who is blind or has a severe disability and work for a nonprofit that supplies items on the Procurement List, those jobs could be at risk because the Committee proposes deleting those products and services from the list. That change could affect employment stability and spending plans for those workers and their households.
