products and services to the

A commercial contractor submitted
comments indicating its opposition to
adding the services to the AbilityOne
Procurement List. The contractor states
that having the services provided by
AbilityOne® Program nonprofit agencies
will result in higher costs to the
Government. The contractor argues that
the services should be acquired through
a competitive procurement involving
small businesses.
The Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled (Committee) administers the
AbilityOne Program in accordance with
41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq. Pursuant to the
statute, the Commission’s
responsibilities include determining
which products and services produced
or provided by qualified nonprofit
agencies employing people who are
blind or with other severe disabilities,
are suitable for procurement by the
Government and establishing the fair
market price for products and services
placed on the Procurement List.
Consequently, Congress has determined
that it is in the Government’s best
interest to have a program designed to
promote employment for people who
are blind or severely disabled and have
charged the members of the agency
appointed by the President to make the
appropriate programmatic decisions,
including how the Government will
acquire certain items and the price they
will pay for such items. The commercial
contractor that submitted comments did
not provide any evidence that the
services will not be provided at a fair
market price as established by the
Committee.
Information was also submitted from
a representative of the Army contracting
command headquarters responsible for
this project. The representative
provided information from the
Performance Work Statement (PWS) for
this project, including identification of
specific services required in the PWS,
and recommended that the Committee
cite these in its description of the
services to be added to the Procurement
List.
When the Committee considers
service projects for addition to the
Procurement List, the PWS is among the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

documents provided for their
consideration. Accordingly, the
Committee has specific PWS
information on the services and
locations of the proposed project. The
Committee’s practice in describing a
service requirement by name is to
sufficiently inform the public and the
applicable Federal agency that will
procure the service, without identifying
specific functions or tasks in that name.
However, the service provided is
defined more specifically within the
Committee’s records and is bounded by
the Government’s requirement as
defined in the relevant PWS.

except that any member whose term of
office has expired shall continue to
serve until a successor is appointed. In
addition, the President shall designate
persons each year to succeed the
members referenced in (a) above whose
terms expire that year.
The Board members shall select the
Board Chairperson and Vice
Chairperson from the total membership.
If a member of the Board dies or
resigns or is terminated as a member of
the Board, a successor shall be
designated for the unexpired portion of
the term by the official who designated
the member.
Each member of the Board who is a
member of the Armed Forces or a
civilian officer or employee of the
United States shall serve without
compensation (other than compensation
to which entitled as a member of the
Armed Forces or an officer or employee
of the United States, respectively).
Individuals appointed by the President
shall receive no compensation for their
service on the Board. While performing
duties as a member of the Board, each
member of the Board and each adviser
shall be reimbursed under Government
travel regulations for travel expenses.
If a member of the Board fails to
attend two successive Board meetings,
except in a case in which an absence is
approved in advance for good cause by
the Board chairperson, such failure shall
be grounds for termination from
membership on the Board, pursuant to
10 U.S.C. 9355(c)(2)(A) (‘‘absenteeism
provision’’).
