SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 6/17/2022 and 9/30/2022, 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 product(s) and service(s) are added to 
the Procurement List:

Product(s)

NSN(s)--Product Name(s):
    7025-00-NIB-0015--Universal Docking Station, Thunderbolt 3 and 
USB-C, Dual 4K, Windows and Mac, with Mounting Bracket
    7025-00-NIB-0014--Universal Docking Station, USB-C and USB 3.0, 
Dual 2K, Windows and Mac, with Mounting Bracket
Designated Source of Supply: Chicago Lighthouse Industries, Chicago, 
IL
Contracting Activity: FEDERAL ACQUISITION SERVICE, GSA/FAS FURNITURE 
SYSTEMS MGT DIV
Distribution: A-List

Service(s)

Service Type: Custodial Service
Mandatory for: US Air Force, Software Engineering Group, Warner 
Robins, GA

[[Page 7415]]

Designated Source of Supply: Good Vocations, Inc., Macon, GA
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA8533 AFLCMC WNKABB

    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. Air Force, 
Software Engineering Group Custodial Service at Warner Robins, GA 
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 Federal Aviation Administration will refer its 
business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on February 13, 
2023, ensuring timely execution for a February 15, 2023, start date 
while still allowing 10 days for comment. The Committee also published 
a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register 
on September 30, 2022 and did not receive any comments from any 
interested persons. 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.
