SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 10/28/2022 and 12/9/2022, 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):
8465-01-082-6449--Cap Strap, Water Canteen, Olive Drab
8465-00-NIB-0290--Cap Strap, Water Canteen, 483 Green
Designated Source of Supply: The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.
(Seattle Lighthouse), Seattle, WA
Mandatory for: 100% of the requirement of the Department of Defense
Contracting Activity: DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY, DLA TROOP SUPPORT
Distribution: C-List
Service(s)
Service Type: Janitorial and Snow Removal
Mandatory for: FAA, ATBM, ATCT, Base Building and Interconnecting
Link Walkway, South Burlington, VT
Designated Source of Supply: Northern New England Employment
Services, Portland, ME
Contracting Activity: FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, 697DCK
REGIONAL ACQUISITIONS SVCS
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
Federal Aviation Administration, Janitorial and Snow Removal, South
Burlington, VT 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 28, 2023, ensuring timely execution for a
March 1, 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
