impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors

current contractors for the commodity.

the commodity to the Government.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the commodity proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
