XL EagleSourceAmerica
SourceAmerica. SourceAmerica is a national nonprofit that serves as a central nonprofit agency for the AbilityOne Program. It connects federal buyers with a network of community nonprofits that employ people with significant disabilities.
SourceAmerica helps place services such as janitorial, grounds maintenance, food service, and contact centers on the AbilityOne Procurement List and supports the nonprofits that perform them. The National Industries for the Blind plays a similar role for people who are blind.
Why it matters to a small contractor
If you see SourceAmerica or a local AbilityOne nonprofit working at a federal site, that work is likely not open to normal bidding. For-profit firms can still sell supplies and equipment to those nonprofits or serve as specialty subcontractors.
Example
A floor equipment supplier sells scrubbers and chemicals to a local nonprofit that performs AbilityOne janitorial work at a federal campus.
