SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On January 29, 2026 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. (91 FR 3866) The Committee determined that the
service listed below is suitable for procurement by the Federal
Government and has added this service
[[Page 17954]]
to the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for the contracting
activity listed. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.3(b), the mandatory
purchase requirement is limited to the contracting activity at the
location listed, and in accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee
has authorized the nonprofit agency listed as the authorized 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
End of Certification
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.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement
List:
Services(s)
Service Type: Logistics Support Service
Mandatory for: US Air Force, Los Angeles Space Force Base, El
Segundo, CA,483 N Aviation Blvd., El Segundo, CA
Authorized Source of Supply: PRIDE Industries, Roseville, CA
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA2816 SMC PKO
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's Base Logistics Services, Los Angeles Air Force Base, El
Segundo, CA 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 April 26, 2026,
ensuring timely execution for a May 1, 2026, start date. The Committee
published an initial notice of proposed Procurement List addition in
the Federal Register on January 29, 2026 (91 FR 3866) but did not
receive any comments. This addition will not create a public hardship
and has limited effect on the public at large. Rather, this addition
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 enables the
Federal customer to continue operations without interruption.
Deletion
On March 5, 2026 (91 FR 10798), 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 products(s) deleted from the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following product(s) are deleted from the
