The US AbilityOne Commission is an independent federal agency that administers the AbilityOne Program, which creates employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have significant disabilities. Operating under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act, the Commission maintains the AbilityOne Procurement List — a catalog of products and services that federal agencies are required to purchase from qualified nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or have significant disabilities. The PLIMS (Procurement List Information Management System) provides web-based search access to the products and services list. Two central nonprofit agencies, NIB (National Industries for the Blind) and SourceAmerica, manage the affiliated nonprofit network.
