AbilityOne: A federal initiative to help people who are blind or have other severe disabilities find employment by working for nonprofit agencies that sell products and/or services to the U.S. government. With a national network of 600 non-profit agencies, AbilityOne is the largest source of employment for people who are blind or have other severe disabilities in the United States. The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled maintains a procurement List of products and services which have been placed in the AbilityOne Program, as referenced in FAR Subparts 8.0 and 8.7.
