SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 617/2022, 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
[[Page 55412]]
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: Facility Support Services
Mandatory for: DHS, Transportation Security Administration
Headquarters, Springfield, VA (for TSA Headquarters Customer Service
Team Requirements)
Mandatory Source of Supply: Didlake, Inc., Manassas, VA
Contracting Activity: TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, WEO
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 Facility Support
Services, DHS, TSA HQ, Springfield, VA (for TSA Headquarters Customer
Service Team Requirements) 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 Transportation Security
Administration will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be
effective on September 30, 2022, ensuring timely execution for an
October 1, 2022 start date while still allowing 22 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 March 2022 and determined that no severe adverse impact
exists. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement
List addition in the Federal Register on June 17, 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
