  Where We Started
Established as JWOD.com, we opened for business in October 1999 with a mission of using the Internet as a convenient distribution channel for the most comprehensive selection of quality SKILCRAFT® and other AbilityOne products. AbilityOne.com was the brainchild of three organizations— National Industries for the Blind, NISH and The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled.

Where We Are Today
Today, AbilityOne.com is the only place to find more than 3,000 quality SKILCRAFT® and other AbilityOne products and continues to be the global distribution channel of choice for many of our federal customers. AbilityOne.com and National Industries for the blind maintain our commitment to customer satisfaction by providing a convenient method for purchasing quality products at a reasonable price.

What We Offer
Products available for sale through AbilityOne.com are primarily items provided to the federal government under the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act, a preferred source of supply for all federal government employees. These products are manufactured by nonprofit agencies throughout the United States that employ people who are blind or have other severe disabilities. The nonprofit operator of AbilityOne.com, National Industries for the Blind, also employs people who are blind in the operation and management of the site.

There are also a number of quality products available through AbilityOne.com that are not mandatory to federal employees. These commercial items, which complement the AbilityOne product line, are provided for your convenience and can be identified by looking for the Convenience Item iconConvenience Item iconthroughout the site.

This site provides you, our valued customer, with another source for purchasing quality SKILCRAFT® and other AbilityOne products that meet your mandatory source requirements under the JWOD Act (41 U.S.C. 46-48c). We hope that you will visit our site often and spread the word to your co-workers and friends. The AbilityOne Program is the largest source of employment in the country for people who are blind or have other severe disabilities, and your continued support helps to reduce the high unemployment rate among this segment of the population.
