SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 7/9/2021 and 12/17/2021, 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 product(s)
and service(s) and impact of the additions on the current or most
recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the product(s)
and 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 product(s) and
service(s) to the Government.
2. The action will 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) 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: Logistics Support Service
Mandatory for: U.S. Coast Guard, Surface Forces Logistics Center,
Baltimore, MD
Designated Source of Supply: Chimes District of Columbia, Baltimore,
MD
Contracting Activity: U.S. COAST GUARD, SFLC PROCUREMENT BRANCH
3(00040)
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
Surface Forces Logistics Center Integrated Logistics Support Services
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 Surface Forces Logistics Center
will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on
March 27, 2022, ensuring timely execution for a March 28, 2022, start
date while still allowing 16 days for comment. Pursuant to its own
regulation 41 CFR 51-2.4, the Committee has been in contact with one of
the affected parties, the incumbent of the expiring contract, since
June 2021 and determined that no severe adverse impact exists. The
Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition
in the Federal Register on December 17, 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.
Service Type: Storage, Management and Fulfillment of PPE
Mandatory for: Department of Homeland Security, Departmental
Operations Acquisitions Division, Washington, DC
Designated Source of Supply: LC Industries, Inc., Durham, NC
Contracting Activity: OFFICE OF PROCUREMENT OPERATIONS, DEPT OPS ACQ
DIV
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 need for the Department of Homeland
Security to award a 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 Department of Homeland Security will refer its
business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on March 27, 2022,
ensuring timely execution for a March 31, start date while still
allowing 16 days for comment. The Committee also published a notice of
proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on July 9,
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.

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) and service(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.
