SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Summary of Notice
The Javits-Wagner-O’Day (JWOD) Act
(Pub. L. 92–28), established an agency to
be known as the Committee for
Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled (Committee). The
purpose of the JWOD Act is to generate
employment and training opportunities
for people who are blind or have other
severe disabilities in the manufacture
and delivery of products and services to
the federal government. The law
requires federal agencies to procure
certain products and services that are
produced and provided by communitybased nonprofit agencies that are
dedicated to training and employing
persons who are blind or have other
severe disabilities.
The Committee is an independent
federal agency and consists of fifteen
members appointed by the President (11
from specific federal agencies and four
private citizens). The Committee works
closely and collaboratively with two
designated (non-governmental) central
nonprofit agencies (CNAs): National
Industries for the Blind (NIB) and NISH
(creating employment opportunities for
people with significant disabilities) to
operate the program. In addition, the
JWOD Act authorizes the Committee to
make rules and regulations necessary to
carry out the Act.
In 1938, Congress passed the WagnerO’Day Act so people who are blind
could manufacture mops and brooms to
sell the federal government. In 1971, the
JWOD Act expanded the Wagner-O’Day
Act to include people who had severe
disabilities and to authorize the program
to provide services to the government.
For decades, the program operated as
the ‘‘NIB/NISH Program’’ and/or the
‘‘JWOD Program.’’ In 2006, the program
changed its name to AbilityOne® in
order to build a descriptive and
powerful brand identity, to better
convey its employment mission, and to
link participating nonprofit agencies.
The name change to AbilityOne has
been a tremendous success and has
resulted in a stronger, more unified
program. However, there still exists
confusion and misunderstanding among
federal agencies and non-federal
entities, regarding the status and
