SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On February 21, 2025 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. (90 FR 10074). This final notice is published
pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. The Committee has
determined that the product listed below are suitable for procurement
by the Federal Government and has added this product to the Procurement
List. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has authorized
the qualified nonprofit agencies described with the product as the
authorized source of supply. Additionally, in accordance with 41 CFR
51-2.4, the Committee considered relevant information from the
contracting activity that this product requirement is not applicable to
other Federal entities and has granted the activity's requested
preference for purchase or distribution. This product is not available
through the Commission's Commercial Distribution Program, and other
Federal entities wishing to purchase this product must contact
contracting activity directly for information on purchase availability.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the
Committee has determined that the product(s) and 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 product(s) to the
Government.
2. The action will 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) proposed for addition to
the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following product(s) are added to the Procurement

One comment was received, objecting to the proposed deletion at
this time, because the commenter said that the requirement might be
procured again in the future. The commenter recommended that the
Commission pause its deletion action for at least a year. However, the
Commission's research indicates it is unlikely that the previous
requirement will be procured by this customer in the foreseeable
future. The Commission maintains that contact center and IT help desk
support can be suitable for procurement from nonprofit agencies
employing individuals who are blind or have significant disabilities.
In this case, however, there is no longer a government requirement for
contract support, thus there is no potential to create or sustain
employment for contract employees with disabilities. Accordingly, this
requirement is appropriate for deletion from the Procurement List.
