SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 617/2022, 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 product(s) and service(s) 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
[top] I certify that the following action will not have a significant impact on a
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) and service(s) to the Government.
2. The action will 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) 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: Facility Support Services
Mandatory for: DHS, Transportation Security Administration Headquarters, Springfield, VA (for TSA Headquarters Customer Service Team Requirements)
Mandatory Source of Supply: Didlake, Inc., Manassas, VA
Contracting Activity: TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, WEO
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 Facility Support Services, DHS, TSA HQ, Springfield, VA (for TSA Headquarters Customer Service Team Requirements) 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 Transportation Security Administration will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on September 30, 2022, ensuring timely execution for an October 1, 2022 start date while still allowing 22 days for comment. Pursuant to its own regulation 41 CFR 51-2.4, the Committee has been in contact with one of the affected parties, the incumbent of the expiring contract, since March 2022 and determined that no severe adverse impact exists. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on June 17, 2022 and did not receive any comments from any interested persons, including from the incumbent contractor. This 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.
Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
