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 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: Custodial Service
Mandatory for: U.S. Railroad Retirement Board, U.S. Railroad Retirement
Board Headquarters, Chicago, IL
Designated Source of Supply: Bona Fide Conglomerate, Inc., El Cajon, CA
Contracting Activity: RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD, RRB--ACQUISITION MGMT
DIVISION
The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in
the
[[Page 11410]]
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 Railroad Retirement
Board Headquarters, Chicago, IL 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 Railroad
Retirement Board 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 5 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.
