Addition to the Procurement List.

August 18, 1997.
Beverly Milkman (703) 603-7740. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 4, 1997, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (62 F.R. 16134) of proposed addition to the Procurement List. Comments were received from a current contractor for this plastic postal tray, a contractor for the paper version of the tray, and the mayor of the city and a U.S. Senator from the state where the first contractor's plant is located. The first contractor objected to the Committee's regulation requiring consideration of impact on the entire corporate entity of a current contractor, including the parent corporation, as it stated its parent corporation would not subsidize any losses the contractor sustains if the trays are added to the Procurement List. The contractor also claimed that the addition would have a severe impact on the contractor's sales and would require layoffs having a dramatic impact on the local economy which has a high unemployment rate and a largely minority population. The mayor and Senator seconded these contentions about the local economy. The contractor claimed that addition of another postal tray to the Procurement List has raised prices and stopped development on the tray by eliminating competition, and predicted the same thing would happen with this tray. The contractor also claimed there would be impacts on its suppliers and subcontractors, and objected to being relegated to six-month contracts as a supplier of raw materials to the nonprofit agencies producing the trays as the short-term arrangement made business planning impossible.
