SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Additions
On 1/15/2021, 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 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 and Related Services
Mandatory for: GSA PBS Region 5, John W.
Bricker Federal Building Parking Garage,
Columbus, OH
Designated Source of Supply: VGS, Inc.,
Cleveland, OH
Contracting Activity: PUBLIC BUILDINGS
SERVICE, PBS R5
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 General Services Administration’s
Public Building Service Region 5
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
General Services Administration will
refer its business elsewhere, this
addition must be effective on April 30,
2021, ensuring timely execution for a
May 1, 2021, start date while still
allowing 14 days for comment. Pursuant
to its own regulation 41 CFR 51–2.4, the
Committee determined that no severe
adverse impact exists. The Committee
also published a notice of proposed
Procurement List addition in the
Federal Register on January 15, 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 3/12/2021, 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 service(s) listed
