Addition
On 6/6/2014 (79 FR 32716–32718),
the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled published notice of proposed
addition to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agency to provide
the service and impact of the addition
on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that the service listed below
is 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 232001
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
organization that will provide the
service to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing a small entity to provide the
service to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in
connection with the service proposed
for addition to the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service is
added to the Procurement List:
Service:
Service Type/Location: Fleet
Maintenance Service, U.S. Department
of Energy, National Nuclear Security
Administration, Agent Operations
Eastern Command, Office of Secure
Transportation, Transportation
Safeguards Training Site, Fort Chaffee,
AR, 11408 Roberts Blvd., Fort Smith,
AR.
NPA: Skookum Educational Programs,
Bremerton, WA
Contracting Activity: Department of
Energy, National Nuclear Security
Administration Business Services
Division, Washington, DC.
Comments were received from two
commercial contractors. One contractor
wanted to ensure that the Commission
had a clear understanding of the scope
of work associated with this project so
as not to put the government
requirements or safety of employees at
risk when performing the work. The
contractor then summarized some tasks
that it indicated required exposure to
potentially hazardous situations and
performance during possible inclement
weather on a 24/7/365 basis. The
Committee For Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
(Committee) appreciates the information
provided in the comments and has
considered it along with substantial
additional information to ensure that
the service is suitable for procurement
by the government from a designated
nonprofit agency employing people
with significant disabilities.
Comments from the other contractor
questioned whether the requirements of
this project can be performed safely and
efficiently by people with significant
disabilities. The contractor, noting the
type of work and the remote locations
where it must be supported, stated that
it appeared to be unsuitable for addition

Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to the Procurement List. The contractor,
as a veteran-owned small business was
also anticipating the opportunity to bid
on this work and stated that adding the
service to the Procurement List would
be unfair advantage to the nonprofit
agency designated to perform the
service.
In accordance with the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act, the Presidentially-appointed
members of the Committee must be
satisfied of the suitability of each
proposed service before deciding
whether to add the service to the
Procurement List. This includes
ensuring that the nonprofit agency
designated to perform the service is
qualified and capable to meet
Government quality standards and
delivery schedule. After conducting its
deliberative review, the Committee has
concluded that the designated nonprofit
agency can safely and efficiently
perform the service while meeting the
Government standards and delivery
schedule. The Committee is aware that
the designated nonprofit agency
currently performs other fleet
maintenance services for the contracting
activity at another location.
Finally, the Committee is aware that
service projects added to the
Procurement List preclude other entities
from competing for the work. However,
the Committee is responsible to
implement the Government’s policy of
increasing employment opportunities
for people who are blind or significantly
disabled. By doing so, the Committee
realizes that this service will not be
available to be procured through
competitive means. After fully
considering all appropriate information,
including the comments, the Committee
is adding the service to the Procurement
List.
Deletions
On 8/15/2014 (79 FR48126–48127),
the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled published notice of proposed
deletions from the Procurement List.
After consideration of the relevant
matter presented, the Committee has
determined that the products 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.
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
additional reporting, recordkeeping or

other compliance requirements for small

2. The action may result in

products to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory
alternatives which would accomplish
the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501–8506) in
connection with the products deleted
from the Procurement List.
