Do agencies associated with the AbilityOne Program only service federal agencies and departments?
Not at all. In fact, community nonprofit agencies with AbilityOne contracts are encouraged to pursue contracts with state and local governments, as well as commercial contracts in the private sector. Community nonprofit agencies contract with major corporations such as 3M, Boeing, General Motors, American Honda, Northern Telecom, Toro and Rockwell International, among others. For these and other private corporations, employees provide the full range of product and service offerings including technical services such as micrographics, sub-assembly, recycling and data entry. Remember, the mission of the AbilityOne Program is not to limit, but rather to expand the training and employment choices for people with severe disabilities.
