Additions

    If the Committee approves the proposed additions, the entities of 
the Federal Government identified in this notice will be required to 
procure the services listed below from nonprofit agencies employing 
persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities.

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. If approved, the action will not result in any additional 
reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small 
entities other than the small organizations that will provide the 
services to the Government.
    2. If approved, the action will result in authorizing small 
entities provide the services 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. 46-
48c) in connection with the services proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should 
identify the statement(s) underlying the certification on which they 
are providing additional information.

End of Certification

    The following services are proposed for addition to Procurement 
List for production by the nonprofit agencies listed:

NY

Service Type/Location: Full Food Service USMA Preparatory School 
West Point, NY
NPA: New Dynamics Corporation, Middletown, NY
Contracting Activity: Mission And Installation Contracting Command--
West Point, NY

    The DoD contracting activity identified its requirements as Full 
Food Service; therefore, as required, initially offered this 
opportunity to the New York State Commission for the Blind and Visually 
Handicapped Business Enterprise Program (NYCBVH) under the Randolph-
Sheppard Act (RSA). The NYCBVH notified the contracting activity via 
letters on November 2, 2010 and December 1, 2010, that they would not 
be exercising its priority to provide the services under the RSA and 
would not disturb the status quo if the project is awarded to another 
vendor. Accordingly, after coordination with the contracting activity, 
this project is being considered for addition to the AbilityOne 
Procurement List.

Service Type/Location: Base Operations Support Service Directorate 
of Public Works (DPW)/Directorate of Logistics (DOL) Carlisle 
Barracks, Carlisle, PA
NPA: The Chimes, Inc., Baltimore, MD
