SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 6/11/2021, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503
(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s)
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors,
the Committee has determined that the service(s) listed below are
suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.
8501-8506 and 41 CFR 51-2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors
considered for this certification were:
1. The action will not result in any additional reporting,
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements for small entities
other than the small organizations that will furnish the service(s) to
the Government.
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the service(s) to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C.
8501-8506) in connection with the product(s) and service(s) proposed
for addition to the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement
List:
Service(s)
Service Type: Base Operation Support Services
Mandatory for: United States Coast Guard, Air Station Barber's
Point, Kapolei, HI
Designated Source of Supply: Service Disabled Veterans Business
Association, Silver Spring, MD
Contracting Activity: U.S. COAST GUARD, DOL-9
The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in
the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure
Act. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the Committee's Procurement
List is effectuated because of the expiration of the U.S. Coast Guard
contract. The Federal customer contacted and has worked diligently with
the AbilityOne Program to fulfill this service need under the
AbilityOne Program. To avoid performance disruption, and the
possibility that the U.S. Coast Guard will refer its business
elsewhere, this addition must be effective on September 11,
2021ensuring timely execution for a September 11, 2021, start date
while still allowing nine (9) days for comment. Pursuant to its own
regulation 41 CFR 51-2.4, the Committee determined that no severe
adverse impact exists against the current contractor. The Committee
also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the
Federal Register on June 11, 2021 and did not receive any comments from
any interested persons, including from the incumbent contractor. This
addition will not create a public hardship and has limited effect on
the public at large, but, rather, will create new jobs for other
affected parties--people with significant disabilities in the
AbilityOne program who otherwise face challenges locating employment.
Moreover, this addition will enable Federal customer operations to
continue without interruption.
Deletions
On 7/30/2021, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from the
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C.
8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee
has determined that the product(s) listed below are no longer suitable
for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501-8506 and
41 CFR 51-2.4.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors
considered for this certification were:
1. The action will not result in additional reporting,
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the product(s) and service(s) to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C.
8501-8506) in connection with the product(s) and service(s) deleted
from the Procurement List.
