be furnished by nonprofit agencies employing persons who are blind or 
have other severe disabilities, and deletes products and services from 
the Procurement List previously furnished by such agencies.

DATES: Date added to and deleted from the Procurement List: April 12, 
2020

ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled, 1401 S Clark Street, Suite 715, Arlington, Virginia 22202-
4149.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael R. Jurkowski, Telephone: (703) 
603-2117, Fax: (703) 603-0655, or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published pursuant to 41 
U.S.C. 8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. Its purpose is to provide 
interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposed 
actions.

Addition

    On 12/20/2019, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service and 
impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractors, the 
Committee has determined that the service listed below is 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 to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the service 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 proposed for addition to the 
Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement 
List:

Service

Service Type: Information Technology Support
Mandatory for: U.S. Air Force, 96th Medical Group, Eglin AFB, FL
Mandatory Source of Supply: Global Connections to Employment, Inc., 
Pensacola, FL
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA2823 AFTC PZIO

    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 U.S. Air Force, 
Information Technology Support contract. The U.S. Air Force 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 U.S. Air Force will refer its 
business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on March 31, 2020, 
ensuring timely execution for an April 1, 2020 start date, while still 
allowing 18 days for comment. Pursuant to its own regulation 41 CFR 51-
2.4, the Committee conducted an impact analysis on the current 
contractor and determined that no severe adverse financial impact will 
result from the Commission's decision. The incumbent graduated from the 
Small Business Administration's 8(a) Program, and is no longer eligible 
for award of the requirement, which will remain under the 8(a) Program 
if not placed on the Procurement List. The Committee also published a 
notice of proposed

[[Page 14653]]

Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on December 13, 2019, 
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 obtaining and maintaining employment. Moreover, this 
addition will enable U.S. Air Force operations to continue without 
interruption.

Deletions

    On 2/7/2020, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from the 
Procurement List.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the products and services listed below are no 
longer 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 additional reporting, 
recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
    2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product(s) and 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 product(s) and service(s) deleted 
from the Procurement List.
