SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 10/28/2022, 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 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: Contractor Operated Parts Store
Mandatory for: Sierra Army Depot, Herlong, CA
Designated Source of Supply: South Texas Lighthouse for the Blind,
Corpus Christi, TX
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE ARMY, W6QK SIAD CONTR OFF
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
[[Page 8821]]
the Department of the Army, Sierra Army Depot 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 the Army will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be
effective on February 21, 2023, ensuring timely execution for a
February 21, 2023 start date while still allowing 11 days for comment.
The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List
addition in the Federal Register on October 28, 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.
Deletions
On 11/10/20 and 12/9/20, 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
