Title: AbilityOne Program; Determining Whether Commodities Are "Essentially the Same" 
Abstract:

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Commission), proposes to amend its regulations by adding guidelines for Federal agencies’ use in determining whether commercial commodities are "essentially the same" as items on the Procurement List. The Procurement List is the official list of commodities and services that the Committee has determined to be suitable to be provided to the Government by nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or who have other severe disabilities and that must be purchased from the source designated by the Committee, pursuant to the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act.
