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 
List:

published notice of proposed deletions from the Procurement List. This

    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.
