SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

On 6/5/2020, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to 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 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 any additional reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the service(s) to the Government.

2. The action will 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) proposed for addition to the Procurement List.

End of Certification

Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement List:

Service(s)

Service Type: Custodial Service

Mandatory for: US Air Force, USAF Space Command (AFSPC), Peterson Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado Springs, CO

Designated Source of Supply Professional Contract Services, Inc., Austin, TX

Contracting Activity: FA2517 21 CONS, PETERSON AFB, CO

The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure Act. See U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This addition to the Committee's Procurement List is effectuated because of the expiration of the U.S. Air Force Custodial Service, Peterson Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, CO. 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 U.S. Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on March 28, 2021, to ensure lead times that are required by the U.S. Air Force for start-up to make a smooth transition for continuity of services while still allowing 17 days for comment. Pursuant to its own regulation, 41 C.F.R § 51-2.4, the Committee determined that no adverse impact exists on the current contractor. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on June 5, 2020, and did not receive any comments from any interested persons, including from the incumbent contractor. The addition will not create a public hardship and has limited effect on the public at large, but rather, 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 will enable Federal customer operations to continue without interruption.

Deletions

On 2/5/2021, 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) and service(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) 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) and service(s) are deleted from the Procurement List:
