SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 12/10/2021, 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 is added to the Procurement
List:
Service(s)
Service Type: Section 508 Compliance
Mandatory for: Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), DCMA
Headquarters, Fort Lee, VA
Designated Source of Supply: Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind,
Washington, DC
Contracting Activity: DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY (DISA),
DEFENSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS AGENCY
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 Defense Contract
Management Agency 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 Defense Contract Management Agency will refer
its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on August 7,
2022, ensuring timely execution for an August 10, 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 May
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 10, 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
