Procurement List Deletions
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This notice removes a set of products and one service from the federal Procurement List, which means federal agencies are no longer required to buy these items through the AbilityOne program. The deleted items include webbing straps, combat identification kits and panels, custom stamps, floor pads, a disposable dinnerware kit, a lockout kit, a small-arm sling, ice melt, and certain magazine pockets and slings. For contractors and nonprofit suppliers, the practical effect is that these orders can now be competed for outside the current mandatory source system. Federal buyers, especially Defense and GSA units, need to update purchasing plans and sourcing files to reflect the deletions effective May 30, 2026.
