SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On July 30, 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 48089) 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 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 listed nonprofit agency
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
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) added to the Procurement
List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement
List:
Service(s)
Service Type: Food and Logistics Support Services.
Mandatory For: US Army, Pennsylvania Army National Guard, Fort
Indiantown Gap, PA, 48 FISHER AVE DMVA, Fort Indiantown Gap, PA.
Authorized Source of Supply: Opportunity Center, Incorporated,
Wilmington, DE.
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF DEFENSE, W7NX USPFO ACTIVITY PA ARNG.
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
Army, Supply Distribution Food, USPFO-PA, Fort Indiantown Gap, PA
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 Army will refer its business
elsewhere, this addition must be effective on September 27, 2026,
ensuring timely execution for a October 1, 2027 start date. The
Committee published an initial notice of proposed Procurement List
addition in the Federal Register on July 30, 2026 (91 FR 48089) 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Director, Business Operations.
