SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 6/5/2020, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 
(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s) 
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, 
the Committee has determined that the service(s) listed below are 
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(s) to the 
Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the 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 service(s) proposed for addition to 
the Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement 
List:

Service(s)

Service Type: Custodial Service
Mandatory for: US Air Force, USAF Space Command (AFSPC), Peterson 
Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado 
Springs, CO
Designated Source of Supply Professional Contract Services, Inc., 
Austin, TX
Contracting Activity: FA2517 21 CONS, PETERSON AFB, CO

    The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in 
the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure 
Act. See U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This addition to the Committee's Procurement 
List is effectuated because of the expiration of the U.S. Air Force 
Custodial Service, Peterson Air Force Base and Cheyenne Mountain Air 
Force Station, CO. The federal customer 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 28, 2021, to ensure lead times 
that are required by the U.S. Air Force for start-up to make a smooth 
transition for continuity of services while still allowing 17 days for 
comment. Pursuant to its own regulation, 41 C.F.R Sec.  51-2.4, the 
Committee determined that no adverse impact exists on the current 
contractor. The Committee also published a notice of proposed

[[Page 14083]]

Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on June 5, 2020, and 
did not receive any comments from any interested persons, including 
from the incumbent contractor. The 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 locating employment. Moreover, this addition will enable 
Federal customer operations to continue without interruption.

Deletions

    On 2/5/2021, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from the 
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 
(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the product(s) and service(s) 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.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following product(s) and service(s) are deleted 
from the Procurement List:
