AbilityOne Committee federal obligations through FY2026

The Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled shows $9,317,138.78 in USAspending obligations through fiscal year 2026. The extract lists 23 awards under awarding-agency CGAC 338. The Committee administers the AbilityOne Program, which channels federal procurement to qualified nonprofit agencies; this $9.3 million is the Committee’s own awarding-agency book, not the government-wide AbilityOne procurement total. SpendingVault republishes the USAspending.gov aggregates and the state split of the same 23 instruments.

Key figures

  • Committee obligations: $9,317,138.78 through FY2026.
  • 23 awards; awarding-agency CGAC 338.
  • Mean about $405,093 per award.
  • Committee awards are not government-wide AbilityOne sales; source is USAspending.gov.

Committee operations versus AbilityOne procurement

Federal agencies buy products and services from AbilityOne participating nonprofits under a statutory procurement preference. Those purchases are usually awarded by the buying agencies, not by CGAC 338. $9,317,138.78 through FY2026 is what the Committee itself obligated on 23 awards—its own administrative and related instruments. Treating this figure as “all AbilityOne spending” would collapse a government-wide procurement channel into a 23-row committee ledger.

Twenty-three awards against $9.3 million implies about $405,093 per award. That high mean on a tiny count fits a small policy body buying modest support, not a catalog of janitorial and skivvy-kit contracts across the government. The packet has no median and no list of participating nonprofits.

What 23 awards omit

Employment counts at participating nonprofits, product-list additions, and project-file prices are AbilityOne program statistics. They are not these 23 USAspending rows. A year with more federal AbilityOne purchases does not automatically raise $9,317,138.78. A Committee IT contract can raise it with no change in the procurement list.

Committee staff salaries generally never appear as awards. The $9.3 million understates the Committee’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an awarding-agency ledger for CGAC 338.

FY2026 cutoff

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. The $9,317,138.78 is cumulative through that horizon, not a single-year Committee appropriation. With only 23 awards, one modification is visible in the agency total.

Outlays are unpublished. Treat the figure as commitments for awarding agency 338. Government-wide AbilityOne sales, if published elsewhere, are a different ledger.

CGAC 338

Committee rows use awarding-agency code 338. SpendingVault’s /agencies/338/ path is keyed to it. Buying agencies that purchase AbilityOne products keep their own CGACs on those awards. Code 338 is an identifier for the Committee, not a SKU on the AbilityOne catalog.

State tables for a small administrative book

The state table for agency 338 attributes 23 awards using USAspending location fields. With so few rows, one or two jurisdictions may dominate the $9,317,138.78. That is vendor geography for Committee awards, not a map of AbilityOne employment by state.

The AbilityOne catalog versus 23 Committee awards

Federal agencies buy from AbilityOne participating nonprofits under a statutory preference. Those purchases usually carry the buying agency’s CGAC, not 338. The $9,317,138.78 on 23 awards is the Committee’s own administrative book. Treating it as government-wide AbilityOne sales would collapse a procurement channel into a 23-row ledger.

Employment counts at participating nonprofits and product-list additions are program statistics. They are not these 23 rows. A year with more AbilityOne purchases government-wide does not automatically raise the Committee total. A Committee IT contract can raise it with no change in the catalog.

With 23 awards, the state table for agency 338 can be dominated by one or two jurisdictions. That is vendor geography for Committee awards, not a map of AbilityOne employment. FY2026 is the cutoff. Use the Committee agency page for live tables. Staff salaries generally never appear among the 23 rows. Outlays are unpublished. Keep CGAC 338 unmerged with buying agencies’ catalogs.

Project-file prices on the AbilityOne procurement list are buying-agency awards, usually under other CGACs. They are not the Committee’s 23 rows. The $9,317,138.78 answers a narrower question: what did awarding agency 338 commit on its own instruments through FY2026. Readers who need government-wide AbilityOne sales should look at buying-agency files, not this roll-up. Use the Committee agency page for live tables. The mean of about $405,093 is an unsplit average on a thin book.

Nonprofit agency names on the AbilityOne list are not in this packet. The 23 awards total $9,317,138.78 for CGAC 338 through FY2026. This roll-up will not invent a participating-nonprofit directory. Open award-level records for Committee vendors only—those 23 rows—not the government-wide catalog. Use the Committee agency page for live tables. Buying-agency AbilityOne purchases remain other CGACs. Outlays are unpublished.

Questions

How much has the AbilityOne Committee obligated on USAspending?

What is the average Committee award?
Dividing $9,317,138.78 by 23 awards yields about $405,093. The packet has no median. A small administrative book produces a high mean on a low count. That figure uses only the packet totals.

What is agency code 338?
338 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Committee. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/338/. Agencies that buy AbilityOne products use their own CGACs on those purchases. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.
Is $9.3 million all federal AbilityOne spending?
No. Most AbilityOne purchases are awarded by other agencies. This page reports only CGAC 338’s $9,317,138.78 on 23 awards through FY2026. Outlays are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
