SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 4/29/2022, 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: Custodial Service
Mandatory for: OPM, Theodore Roosevelt Building, Washington, DC
Designated Source of Supply: Melwood Horticultural Training Center,
Inc., Upper Marlboro, MD
Contracting Activity: OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, OPM
PHILADELPHIA REGION CONTRACTING
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
Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Custodial, Recycling & Snow
Removal Services, Theodore Roosevelt Building, Washington DC
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 OPM will refer its business elsewhere, this
addition must be effective on July 31, 2022, ensuring timely
execution for an August 1, 2022, start date while still allowing 16
days for comment. Pursuant to its own regulation 41 CFR 51-2.4, the
Committee has been determined that no severe adverse impact exists
on the incumbent contractor. The Committee also published a notice
of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on
April 29, 2022 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 4/1/2022 and 4/8/2022, 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) 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.
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.
End of Certification
