The Committee, under the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act of 1971, provides employment opportunities for persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities through Federal Government purchases from nonprofit agencies employing such individuals. Those products which are required to be purchased by the Federal Government under the AbilityOne Program are added to the Committee's Procurement List (PL).

Before adding a product to the PL, the Committee considers the potential impact that removal from commercial channels of this product, as well as similar products, would have on the sales of the firms that are currently providing Operating Room Kits, and the components in those kits to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the extent to which the potentially affected suppliers are dependent on the income. Similar products are: No similar products reported. In order for the Committee to be able to assess the potential impact on affected companies, it is important that these firms report the following information to the Committee: 1) Total Revenues accrued from all sources for the most recent 12-month time period 2) Revenues accrued by providing Operating Room Kits, and the components in those kits to Department of Veterans Affairs for the same most recent 12-month period 3) The length of time the potentially affected firm has been providing these products to Department of Veterans Affairs. The information prescribed above must reach the Committee no later than June 5, 2009 and can be submitted in letter format. If information is not received by the date requested, the Committee could conclude that potentially affected firms have determined that there will be no severe adverse impact should the listed products be added to the PL.
