SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 7/31/2023, 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: Grounds/Range Maintenance
Mandatory for: US Air Force, Camp Bullis US Army Training Center,
San Antonio, TX
Designated Source of Supply: Goodwill Industries of San Antonio
Contract Services, San Antonio, TX
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA3016 502 CONS CL JBSA
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 Camp Bullis US Army Training Center, San Antonio, TX
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 8/27/2023,
ensuring timely
[[Page 51785]]
execution for a 9/1/2023 start date while still allowing 23 days for
comment. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement
List addition in the Federal Register on 6/30/2023 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.
Deletions
On 6/30/2023, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from 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 relevant matter presented, the Committee
has determined that the product(s) listed below are no longer 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 additional reporting,
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the product(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) deleted from the
Procurement List.
