SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions; Transfer
The Committee has authorized two changes to the Procurement List:
authorization to transfer the Procurement List requirement described
herein and authorized additional sources of supply. The Federal
Government entity identified in this notice will be required to procure
the services listed below from nonprofit agencies employing persons who
are blind or have other severe disabilities.
Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification
I certify that the following action will not have a significant
impact on any small entities. The major factors considered for this
certification were:
1. The action did not result in any additional reporting,
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements for small entities
other than the nonprofit agencies furnishing the services to the
Government.
2. The action did result in authorizing nonprofit agencies to
furnish the products to the Government.
3. There were no known regulatory alternatives which would have
accomplished the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C.
8501-8506) in connection with the products added to the Procurement
List.
End of Certification
The following are changes to the service currently on the
Procurement List:

Service(s)
Service Type: Facilities Maintenance Services
Mandatory for: U.S. Army, Department of Public Works, Fort Knox, Ky
The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled (Committee), is announcing that the Committee approved the
transfer of the Total Facilities Maintenance (TFM) Pilot Project at
Fort Knox, KY from SourceAmerica to a participating nonprofit
agency. Additionally, the Committee announces it approved and added
Skookum Contract Services and Professional Contract Services, Inc.
to the Procurement List as authorized sources for the TFM
requirement.
As announced by the Committee on 3/23/23, 88 FR 17553, the TFM
requirement consists of approximately 109,054 acres and 2,326
buildings and covers several functional areas, such as building and
structure maintenance, snow and ice removal, landscaping services,
utility system maintenance, and others. SourceAmerica is the
incumbent TFM contractor, but the Pilot's short-term goal was to
allocate the TFM requirement away from SourceAmerica to a
participating nonprofit agency utilizing enhanced competitive
procedures. SourceAmerica recommended both nonprofit agencies
following completion of the Phase I evaluations. The Committee's
decision to transfer this requirement and approve the authorized
sources formally closes Phase I of the Pilot and authorizes
SourceAmerica to commence Phase II.
The Committee has authorized a multi-factor evaluation process
for Phase II that includes a price component. In accordance with a
Memorandum of Agreement between the U.S. Army, the U.S. AbilityOne
Commission (Committee) and SourceAmerica the multi-factor evaluation
will assess the two authorized nonprofit agencies on technical
capability, past performance, and price. Utilizing considerations of
technical capability, past performance and price could require a
trade-off analysis between the two nonprofit agencies. However,
consistent with the Memorandum of Agreement, the Committee has
determined that price may not be given greater weight than technical
capability or have greater or equal weight as past performance.
The U.S. Army's Installation Management Command and the Army's
Mission and Installation Contracting Command will provide technical
support to SourceAmerica throughout the Phase II evaluation process.
Because SourceAmerica is one of the central nonprofit agencies
designated by the Committee under 41 U.S.C. 8503(c) to allocate
orders from the Government, SourceAmerica will select and allocate
the TFM requirement to the nonprofit agency proposing the best
overall solution to the Army. After Phase II concludes,
SourceAmerica will provide a recommended price to the Commission who
will consider that recommendation before establishing the fair
market price.

Acting Director, Business Operations.
