[[Page 78092]]

or Severely Disabled is an independent government agency operating as 
the U.S. AbilityOne Commission. It oversees the AbilityOne Program, 
which provides employment opportunities through Federal contracts for 
people who are blind or have significant disabilities in the 
manufacture and delivery of products and services to the Federal 
Government. The Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. Chapter 85) 
authorizes the contracts.

not later than 11:59 p.m. ET on January 30, 2023. Attendees requesting

    Commission Statement: This regular quarterly public meeting will 
include updates from the Commission Chairperson, Executive Director, 
and Inspector General. A panel of Federal customers will broadly 
address, from an overall acquisition perspective, what is important to 
Federal agencies in terms of contractor performance--whether or not 
those contracts are awarded under the auspices of the AbilityOne 
Program. Panelist topics may include but are not limited to quality, 
timely delivery, best value, innovation, and compliance with 
cybersecurity and other Federal guidance.
    Public Participation: The Commission invites public comments and 
suggestions about the panel topic, including perspectives on contract 
performance, quality assurance, and measurement of customer 
satisfaction. During registration, you may choose to submit comments, 
or you may request speaking time at the meeting. The Commission may 
invite some attendees who submit advance comments to discuss their 
comments during the meeting. Comments submitted will be reviewed by 
staff and the Commission members before the meeting. Comments posted in 
the chat box during the meeting will be shared with the Commission 
members after the meeting. The Commission is not subject to the 
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 552(b); however, the Commission published this 
notice to encourage the broadest possible participation in its meeting.
    Personal Information: Do not include any information that you do 
not want publicly disclosed.

Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
