Partnership Through AbilityOne

The AbilityOne (formerly JWOD) Program creates jobs and training opportunities for people who are blind or who have other severe disabilities. Its primary means of doing so is by mandating that Government agencies to purchase selected products and services from nonprofit agencies employing such individuals. As a result, AbilityOne workers are able to lead more productive, independent lives.

The enabling legislation for the AbilityOne Program is the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act of 1971, 41 U.S.C. 46-48c. The program creates a mandatory source of supply for Federal agencies. The AbilityOne Program is administered by the Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled. Two national, independent organizations, National Industries for the Blind (NIB) and SourceAmerica, help State and private nonprofit agencies participate in the JWOD Program.
