SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 4/12/2024 (89 FR 25867) and 5/24/2024 (89 FR 45859), the
Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
(operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission) published an initial
notice of proposed additions to the Procurement List. The Committee
determined that the service(s) listed below are suitable for
procurement by the Federal Government and has added these service(s) to
the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for contracting activities
listed. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.3(b), the mandatory purchase
requirement is limited to those contracting activities at the locations
listed, and in accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has
authorized nonprofit agencies listed as the authorized source(s) of
supply.
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
[[Page 55591]]
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 Type: Custodial Service
Mandatory for: US Army, Air National Guard Readiness Center, Joint
Base Andrews, Maryland
Authorized Source of Supply: Chimes District of Columbia, Baltimore,
MD
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE ARMY, W39L USA NG READINESS 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 DEPT OF THE ARMY,
W39L USA NG READINESS CENTER 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 DEPT OF THE ARMY, W39L USA NG
READINESS CENTER will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must
be effective on 7/14/2024, ensuring timely execution for a 7/16/2024
start date while still allowing nine (9) days for comment. The
Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition
in the Federal Register on 4/12/2024 (89 FR 25867) 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.
