SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 12/6/2024 (89 FR 96948), 12/27/2024 (89 FR 106446), and 1/31/
2025 (90 FR 8705) 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 product(s)
and service(s) and impact of the additions on the current or most
recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the product(s)
and 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 product(s) and service(s) are added to
the Procurement List:
Product(s)
NSN(s)--Product Name(s):

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 Postal Service
Center Services, USAF, JB Andrews, MD 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 Department of the
Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be
effective on 3/30/2025, ensuring timely execution for a 4/1/2025 start
date. The Committee published an initial notice of proposed Procurement
List addition in the Federal Register on 12/30/2024 (89
[[Page 11520]]
FR 106446) but did not receive any comments. This addition will not
create a public hardship and has limited effect on the public at large.
Rather, this addition 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
enables the Federal customer to continue operations without
interruption.
