National Council on Disability

The National Council on Disability is an independent civilian agency that develops policy recommendations and provides technical assistance to federal agencies on disability-related programs, regulations, and practices; it does not operate a contract or grant portfolio and does not procure goods or services or administer federal grants.

The Council comprises 15 members appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, supported by a small professional staff. Its statutory mission centers on advising the President, Congress, and federal agencies on disability policy, conducting research on the implementation of disability laws, and issuing reports that guide federal action across health, education, employment, civil rights, and related domains. The agency has no authority to award contracts or grants and does not operate acquisition vehicles, set-asides, or funding programs.

No recent contract awards, contract opportunities, grant awards, or grant opportunities are recorded against the National Council on Disability or any descendant office.
