8.714

Communications with the central nonprofit agencies and the Committee

FAR 8.714 ensures contracting professionals use the correct contact information for central nonprofit agencies and the Committee when handling AbilityOne Program matters.

Overview

FAR 8.714 provides the official contact information for the central nonprofit agencies (CNAs) involved in the AbilityOne Program, specifically the National Industries for the Blind and NISH (now known as SourceAmerica), as well as the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (the Committee). This section outlines where and how contracting officers and other stakeholders should direct communications related to acquisitions from nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or severely disabled.

Key Rules

Contact Information for CNAs
- Contracting officers must use the provided addresses and phone numbers to communicate with the National Industries for the Blind and NISH/SourceAmerica regarding procurement matters.
Referral to the Committee
- Any issues or matters that require escalation or referral to the Committee must be sent to the Executive Director at the specified Arlington, VA address.

Responsibilities

Contracting Officers: Ensure all communications with CNAs and the Committee use the correct contact information provided in this section.
Contractors: Coordinate with contracting officers and CNAs as required for AbilityOne procurements.
Agencies: Maintain accurate records of communications and ensure proper referral of issues to the Committee when necessary.

Practical Implications

This section ensures that all parties involved in AbilityOne acquisitions have clear, up-to-date contact information for the CNAs and the Committee, reducing delays and miscommunication.
Accurate communication channels are critical for resolving procurement issues, submitting requests, or seeking guidance on compliance with Subpart 8.7.
Failure to use the correct contact information may result in processing delays or noncompliance with FAR requirements.
