SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 5/10/2024, 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. (89 FR 40473). The Committee determined that the service listed
below is suitable for procurement by the Federal Government and has
added this service to the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for
contracting activity listed. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.3(b), the
mandatory purchase requirement is limited to the contracting activity
at location listed, and in accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee
has authorized the nonprofit agency listed as the mandatory source 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 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 and Related Services
Mandatory for: US Air Force, Maxwell AFB (including Gunter Annex and
Vigilant Warrior Training Site), Montgomery, AL
Authorized Source of Supply: Global Connections to Employment, Inc.,
Pensacola, FL
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA3300 42 CONS CC
[[Page 65336]]
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 U.S. Air Force
Custodial Service, Maxwell Air Force Base, Montgomery, AL 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
U.S. Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be
effective on 8/25/2024, ensuring timely execution for a 9/1/2024 start
date while still allowing 16 days for comment. The Committee also
published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal
Register on 5/10/2024 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 7/5/2024 (89 FR 55590), 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 service(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 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) deleted from the
Procurement List.
