The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and several named plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education responding to the Notice put out by Secretary McMahon in December of 2025. The Notice, which ACB promptly responded to, placed a hold on Randolph-Sheppard vendors to prevent them from providing vending services in Army facilities. The lawsuit was just filed by NFB and related parties, and argues that the decision violates the Administrative Procedures Act (APA). ACB will follow the case closely and report back on what happens next.
