service to the Government.

current contractors for the commodities and service.

the commodities and service to the Government.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 
46--48c) in connection with the commodities and service proposed for 
addition to the Procurement List. Comments on this certification are 
invited.
