In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has authorized the qualified nonprofit agencies described with the products as the authorized source(s) of supply.

These products are not available through the Commission's Commercial Distribution Program, and other Federal entities wishing to purchase this product must contact the contracting activity directly for information on purchase availability.

The Commission received one public comment with the commenter suggesting the Commission should confirm the proposed addition has been evaluated for employment potential for individuals who are blind or have a significant disability including workplace accommodations, quality and types of employment, and career advancement opportunities. The respective central nonprofit agency is responsible for identifying opportunities for employment, evaluating the qualifications of nonprofit agencies to perform a requirement, and distributing orders among qualified nonprofit agencies. See 41 U.S.C. 8503(c); 41 CFR 51-3.2(b),(f); Commission Policy 51.301 (May 1, 2025).

Having determined all of the suitability criteria were satisfied, the Commission proposed addition of this product to the PL.
