SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 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 service(s) are added to the Procurement
List:
Service(s)
Service Type: Patient Access and Referral Accountability Service
Mandatory for: U.S. Air Force, Colorado Military Health System,
Colorado Springs, CO
Designated Source of Supply: Global Connections to Employment, Inc.,
Pensacola, FL
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA7000 10 CONS LGC
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 Department of the
Air Force, Patient Access and Referral Accountability Services, USAF,
CMHS, Colorado Springs, CO 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 Air Force
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 6 days for comment. The Committee also
published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal
Register on December 9, 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.
