AbilityOne has launched a storefront on Amazon Business.
The new addition to Amazon's business-to-business (B2B) purchasing platform is set to boost inclusive procurement in the U.S. by supporting America's largest employer of people with disabilities.
The branded storefront will allow Amazon to leverage the brand value of its platform to provide easier access to the skills and services provided by AbilityOne.
- Founded in the 1930s, AbilityOne is a federally administered program that helps provide employment for people with significant disabilities.
- The U.S. AbilityOne Commission helps approximately 500 non-profits sell products and services at fair market value to the federal government.
- The improved accessibility offered by Amazon's B2B platform is expected to boost the sales of AbilityOne vendors.
- Organizations under the AbilityOne umbrella employ about 40,000 people and generated $2.1B in 2022.
