SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 5/7/2021 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 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: Mailroom, Courier, and Copy Center Service
Mandatory for: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Washington, DC
Designated Source of Supply: NewView Oklahoma, Inc., Oklahoma City, OK
Contracting Activity: CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU, CONSUMER
FINANCE PROTECTION BUREAU
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 Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau 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 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will
refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on
September 14, 2021, ensuring timely execution for a September 15, 2021,
start date while still allowing 19 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 June 2020 and determined that no severe adverse impact exists.
The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List
addition in the Federal Register on May 7, 2021 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.
Deletions
On 7/23/2021 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.
