Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification

    I certify that the following action will not have a significant 
impact on any small entities. The major factors considered for this 
certification were:
    1. The action did not result in any additional reporting, 
recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements for small entities 
other than the nonprofit agencies furnishing the services to the 
Government.
    2. The action did result in authorizing nonprofit agencies to 
furnish the products to the Government.
    3. There were no known regulatory alternatives which would have 
accomplished the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 
8501-8506) in connection with the products added to the Procurement 
List.

End of Certification

    The following Procurement List product(s) have been referred to the 
Commission for dispute resolution.

Product(s)

ACU Patrol Cap, OCP 2015, NSN 8415-01-630-8905 (+13 additional 
sizes)
NPA: Southeastern Kentucky Rehabilitation Industries, Corbin, KY
Contracting Activity: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

    The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission) advises that 
on March 8, 2023, a dispute over the ACU Patrol Cap, OCP 2015 was 
remanded to the Commission by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. 
After an initial review of relevant information, this dispute was 
referred to the Deciding Official for adjudication in accordance 
with the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501-8506), the 
Commission's regulations at 41 CFR chapter 51, and Commission 
policies and procedures. Because adjudication could require an 
amendment to the Procurement List, this notice provides interested 
parties the opportunity to provide comments to the Commission about 
the dispute generally and serves as the Commission's public notice 
on potential Procurement List changes. The Commission requests all 
comments be sent no later than May 8, 2023, to Cassandra Assefa, 
Regulatory and Policy Attorney, Office of General Counsel, U.S. 
AbilityOne Commission; email: [email protected].
