Procurement List; Proposed Additions, 1412-1413 [05-357]

Download as PDF 1412 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 5 / Friday, January 7, 2005 / Notices which must be performed by blind individuals in this situation. The contractor claimed that there is a long learning curve to manufacturing the kit, and that letting an inexperienced producer like the designated nonprofit agency have the contract would expose the Government customer to significant risks. As noted above, the nonprofit agency will only be assembling the kits, not manufacturing any part of them. The Government procuring activity has inspected the nonprofit agency and concluded that it is capable of performing all tasks necessary to assemble the kit. The nonprofit agency has experience in assembling a First Aid kit which is similar to the body fluids barrier kit being added to the Procurement List. The SBA office stated that the Committee cannot add the kit to the Procurement List because the current contractor is a participant in SBA’s 8(a) program, so the addition is prohibited by an agreement between SBA and NISH, one of the Committee’s designated central nonprofit agencies. What the SBA office is actually referring to is a Committee policy by which the Committee will not add to the Procurement List items produced by a contractor which holds the Government contract for the item through the 8(a) program, until that contractor graduates from the 8(a) program. However, while the current contractor for the kit is a participant in the 8(a) program, its contract for the kit was not awarded under the 8(a) program, so the limitation on additions to the Procurement List expressed in the Committee policy is not applicable to this addition. The following material pertains to the item being added to the Procurement List. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the product listed below is suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c 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 to the Government. VerDate jul<14>2003 18:03 Jan 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product 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. 46–48c) in connection with the product proposed for addition to the Procurement List. End of Certification Accordingly, the following product is added to the Procurement List: Product Product/NSN: Body Fluids Barrier Kit, 6515– 01–376–7247. NPA: The Oklahoma League for the Blind, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Contracting Activity: GSA, Southwest Supply Center, Fort Worth, Texas. Deletions On November 12, 2004, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (69 FR 65409) of proposed deletions to the Procurement List. After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee has determined that the services listed below are no longer suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c 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.
