Comment from Melwood, Inc.

Summary: Melwood, an organization advocating for and employing people with disabilities, provides mixed feedback on the proposed rule. They support the Commission's rationale for subcontracting limits but express concern that the specific 25% and 10% thresholds may hinder growth in new business lines. Additionally, they suggest implementing a tiered fee structure based on contract lifecycle and advocate for increased transparency in how Program Fees are reported and utilized.
