Big Advocacy Win:


A federal court has vacated the Department of Education's December 2025
decision limiting the Randolph-Sheppard priority for Army dining facility
contracts. The ruling protects blind entrepreneurs, reinforces the required
public process, and recognizes that the department's closed process caused
substantial prejudice. This victory follows the National Federation of the
Blind's December statement and January lawsuit with blind entrepreneurs and
partners. Read and share our press release on the update:
