SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions

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 provide the services to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to 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.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following services are added to the Procurement 
List:

Services

Service Type/Location: Contract Cook Support & Dining Facility 
Attendant, White Sands Missile Range, NM.
NPA: Tresco, Inc., Las Cruces, NM.
Contracting Activity: Dept of the Army, XR W6BB ACA White Sands 
Missile, NM.

    The DoD contracting activity specifically identified its 
requirement as Contract Cook Support (CCS) and Dining Facility 
Attendant (DFA) Service in its Performance Work Statement (PWS). The 
dining facility (DFAC) associated with this service requirement is 
newly constructed and will be under the control and military 
management of the 2D Engineer Battalion when it relocates to White 
Sands Missile Range (WSMR) under a Base Realignment and Closure 
action. Food service personnel assigned to the battalion will 
operate and manage the DFAC and will be augmented by contractor-
provided dining facility attendants (DFA).
    The PWS describes the DFA service tasks as preparation of 
vegetables, dining room service (prepare, maintain, clean dining 
areas; clean condiment containers; clean spills and remove soiled 
dinnerware; clean dining room tables, chairs, booths; clean dining 
room walls, baseboards, window ledges, doors, doorframes, ceiling 
fans, pictures, wall art, artificial plants, light fixtures, etc); 
buss and replace tray carts during meal serving periods; service and 
maintain patron self-service area; clean and sanitize food service 
equipment, utensil cleaning, and dishwashing; clean pots, pans, 
utensils, storage shelves, and racks; facility maintenance and 
sanitation; and provide trash and garbage service.
    Because the 2d Engineer Battalion is a deployable, combat unit, 
it may be absent from WSMR as its mission dictates. When deployed, 
the DFAC will be augmented by contractor-provided cooks to replace 
absent military food service personnel. The Contracting Officer 
stated that the military will retain management and operational 
control during deployments as a Government (civil service) 
contracting officer's representative will assume those duties. At no 
time will the contractor be responsible for the management and 
operational control of the DFAC.
Service Type/Location: Laundry & Dry Cleaning Service, F.E. Warren, 
AFB, WY.
NPA: Goodwill Industrial Services Corporation, Colorado Springs, CO.
Contracting Activity: Dept of the Air Force, FA4613 90 CONS LGC, 
F.E. Warren AFB, WY.
Service Type/Location: Custodial Service, 185th Air Refueling Wing, 
Buildings 234 and 241, 2920 Headquarters Avenue, Sioux City, IA.
NPA: Goodwill Community Rehabilitation Services, Inc., Sioux City, 
IA.
Contracting Activity: Dept of the Army, XRAW7M8 USPFO Activity IA 
ARNG, Johnston, IA.
