      What is this page, and how is it different from PDQ's general distributor network?

      This page lists distributors and nonprofit agencies specifically approved by the U.S. AbilityOne Commission to supply SKILCRAFT PDQ door hardware, the required sourcing channel for federally funded projects where the item is on the AbilityOne procurement list (see PDQ's Federal Government Solutions page for the full mandatory-sourcing breakdown). If your project doesn't fall under AbilityOne mandatory sourcing, whether it's commercial, education, healthcare, multifamily, or state and local government work, PDQ's broader network of authorized dealers is listed separately on PDQ's Distributors page. Confirm which channel applies to your specific project before placing an order.

      The AbilityOne Commission & mandatory SKILCRAFT sourcing

      The U.S. AbilityOne Commission administers the AbilityOne program under 41 U.S.C. Chapter 85 (the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act). The program creates employment for people who are blind or have significant disabilities by directing federal purchasing toward products, sold under the SKILCRAFT brand, that they help produce. Under FAR 52.208-9, federally funded projects generally must source covered items, including PDQ's ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 door hardware components, from an AbilityOne-authorized distributor or nonprofit agency before considering other suppliers.

      See PDQ's Federal Government Solutions page for the full breakdown of when mandatory sourcing applies, and how it compares to BAA, TAA, and BABAA compliance rules.

       

      How to order through an authorized distributor

      Step

      What to do

      1. Confirm your sourcing requirement

      Check whether your project is federally funded construction with the item on the AbilityOne procurement list. If so, mandatory sourcing through an authorized distributor generally applies.

      2. Choose a distributor or nonprofit agency

      Contact any of the seven partners listed above directly. Several also serve broader industrial supply needs beyond door hardware.

      3. Provide project details

      Share your product specification, quantities, and project timeline so the distributor can confirm availability and lead time.

      4. Not sure which channel applies?

      Contact PDQ's federal procurement team directly for help confirming whether AbilityOne mandatory sourcing, GSA Advantage, or PDQ's general distributor network fits your project.

      FAQs

      Who are PDQ's authorized AbilityOne and SKILCRAFT distributors?

      PDQ's authorized distributors for SKILCRAFT PDQ door hardware are approved through the AbilityOne Commission, the federal agency that oversees the AbilityOne program. They include LC Industries (LCI), SupplyCore, Buy Supply, MSC Industrial Supply, Grainger, Noble Supply and Logistics, and the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI). Each is listed with contact information on this page.

      What is the difference between PDQ's authorized distributors and its general distributor network?

      This page lists AbilityOne Commission-approved distributors, the channel required for purchasing SKILCRAFT PDQ products under mandatory federal sourcing rules (FAR 52.208-9). PDQ's separate, broader distributor network, covering commercial, educational, healthcare, and multifamily projects outside AbilityOne mandatory sourcing, is listed on PDQ's general Distributors page.

      Do I have to buy through an AbilityOne distributor, or can I buy PDQ hardware directly?

      If your project is federally funded construction and the item is on the AbilityOne procurement list, FAR 52.208-9 generally requires purchasing through the AbilityOne/SKILCRAFT mandatory source channel rather than buying commercial PDQ hardware directly. If your project doesn't fall under mandatory sourcing, PDQ's general distributor network and authorized dealers are available. Confirm which applies to your specific project with your contracting officer or PDQ's procurement team.

      What is the AbilityOne Commission?

      The U.S. AbilityOne Commission is the federal agency that administers the AbilityOne program under 41 U.S.C. Chapter 85 (the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act). It creates employment for people who are blind or have significant disabilities by directing federal purchasing toward products, including SKILCRAFT-brand items, that they help produce, and it designates the nonprofit agencies and distributors authorized to fulfill that mandatory sourcing requirement.

      How do I place an order for SKILCRAFT PDQ hardware?

      Contact any of PDQ's authorized distributors listed on this page directly by phone, or reach out to PDQ's team for guidance on which distributor or nonprofit agency fits your project, funding source, and contract vehicle.
