Allow state and local governments, grantees, and certain nonprofit agencies to use federal supply contracts. State and local governments (including Indian tribal governments), grantees, and nonprofit agencies awarded contracts under the program administered by the Committee for Purchase from People who are Blind or Severely Disabled should be authorized to use nonmandatory federal contracts as sources of supply or services. Grantees and nonprofit agencies should only be authorized to use federal supply sources (e.g. nonmandatory Multiple Award Schedules) if authorized by the federal agency awarding the grant or contract. In addition, they could only use or acquire items to be used in direct performance of the grant or contract. The use of federal contract sources would be optional for all these nonfederal entities.
