SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 8/5/2022, 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 product(s) and 
service(s) to the Government.
    2. The action will 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) 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: Janitorial Service
Mandatory for: FAA, Charlotte Air Traffic Control Tower, TRACON and 
Base Building, Charlotte, NC
Mandatory Source of Supply: OE Enterprises, Inc., Hillsborough, NC
Contracting Activity: FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, 697DCK 
REGIONAL ACQUISITIONS SVCS

    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 Federal Aviation 
Administration, Janitorial Service, Air Traffic Control Center 
Charlotte, NC 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 Federal Aviation Administration will refer its 
business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on October 30, 
2022, ensuring timely execution for a November 1, 2022, start date 
while still allowing 23 days for comment. The Committee also published 
a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register 
on August 5, 2022 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.

Michael R. Jurkowski,
Acting Director, Business Operations.
