About Us — AB1Supply

AB1Supply is a trusted provider of workplace, facility, and office essentials for federal agencies, government contractors, educational institutions, and commercial organizations nationwide. Our mission is to simplify procurement by offering reliable products, transparent pricing, compliant solutions, and dependable support throughout the purchasing process.

As part of our commitment to serving the public sector, AB1 Supply is formally authorized by the U.S. AbilityOne® Commission as an AbilityOne® distributor, a designation granted only to organizations that meet all requirements established under Commission Policy 51.540.

This authorization allows us to offer a wide selection of AbilityOne® products sourced through approved channels, helping customers meet mandatory procurement guidelines and support employment opportunities for people who are blind or significantly disabled.

Our broader catalog includes products from respected manufacturers, wholesalers, and national distribution partners. Items are fulfilled through a combination of supplier-direct shipping and our established logistics network to ensure fast delivery, order accuracy, and consistent availability.

What drives us is simple: providing procurement professionals with a dependable, low-friction purchasing experience. We focus on operational clarity, accurate product information, and responsive customer service—because we understand that government and B2B buyers rely on suppliers who are organized, compliant, and accountable.

Whether you manage a federal contracting office, oversee state or municipal purchasing, or supply products for a government-funded program, AB1Supply offers the structure, transparency, and reliability you need to buy with confidence.

AbilityOne Program Alignment

The AbilityOne® Program is a mandatory source for certain products purchased by federal agencies (FAR 8.7). As an AbilityOne® Authorized Distributor, AB1Supply offers AbilityOne® products from approved sources, helping agencies and contractors meet program requirements while maintaining operational efficiency. Our role is to distribute AbilityOne® products—not to manufacture or represent ourselves as a nonprofit agency.

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Considerations

AB1Supply supports procurement approaches aligned with:

  • FAR Part 8 – Required Sources of Supplies and Services

  • FAR Part 10 – Market Research

  • FAR Part 12 – Acquisition of Commercial Items

  • FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures

  • FAR Part 16 – Indefinite Delivery Contracts (for repetitive orders)

We do not claim any federal preference or special contractual status; instead, we supply products consistent with allowed commercial distribution practices.
