SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 6/18/2021 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 product(s) and 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: Document Management Service
Mandatory for: National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Records 
Management Program, St Louis, MO
Designated Source of Supply: ServiceSource, Inc., Oakton, VA

[[Page 50707]]

Contracting Activity: NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NGA), 
NATL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

    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 
National Geospatial Agency, Document Management contract. 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 National Geospatial Agency will refer its business elsewhere, 
this addition must be effective on September 29, 2021, ensuring 
timely execution for a September 30, 2021, start date while still 
allowing 19 days for comment. The Committee determined that no 
severe adverse impact exists on any current contractor, as this is 
new requirement never having been contracted for in the past. The 
Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List 
addition in the Federal Register on June 18, 2021 and did not 
receive any comments from any interested persons. 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 locating employment. Moreover, 
this addition will enable Federal customer operations to continue 
without interruption.

Deletions

    On 8/6/2021, 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) 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.
