SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 3/17/2023 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 service(s) to the
Government.
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the 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 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: NASA, NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA
Designated Source of Supply: Brevard Achievement Center, Inc.,
Rockledge, FL
Contracting Activity: National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
NASA Langley Research Center
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 NASA Langley
Research Center, Custodial Service, Hampton, VA 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 NASA Langley
Research Center will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must
be effective on June 16, 2023, ensuring timely execution for a July 1,
2023 start date while still allowing 21 days for comment. The Committee
also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the
Federal Register on March 17, 2023 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.
