SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On February 6, 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 Lists. (91 FR 5435) 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 is 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
mandatory source(s) 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 the
contracting activity listed directly for information on purchase
availability.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the product(s)
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors,
the Committee has determined that the product(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 product(s) and 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 product(s) and service(s) deleted
from the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following product(s) are added to the Procurement
List:
Product(s)
NSN(s)--Product Name(s)
6545-01-689-9365--Kit, Standard Vehicle, Medical
Authorized Source of Supply: The Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.
(Seattle Lighthouse), Seattle, WA
Mandatory For: DEPT OF DEFENSE
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF DEFENSE, DLA TROOP SUPPORT
The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in
the
[[Page 27928]]
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 needs of the Defense Logistics Agency
Troop Support (DLATS) to place orders for the product. The Federal
customer contacted and has worked diligently with the AbilityOne
Program to fulfill this product under the AbilityOne Program. To avoid
performance disruption, and the possibility that the DLATS will refer
its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on May 31,
2026,. The Committee published an initial notice of proposed
Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on February 6, 2026
(91 FR 5435) 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Director, Business Operations.
