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 proposed for addition to the Procurement List.

The firm stated it is the incumbent contractor for the General Services Administration, and loss of the ability to compete for the future contract will negatively impact the firm’s business. In the normal competitive procurement process, there are no guarantees of continuous contracts. Further, the Committee reviewed and applied its standard impact analysis methodology to the information submitted by the firm. The Committee determined, in accordance with its longstanding business practices, that addition of Gloves, Blue Nitrile (Industrial) to the Procurement List would not result in a severe adverse impact. The Committee operates pursuant to statutory and regulatory requirements. The Committee’s mission is to create VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 May 05, 2016 Jkt 238001 employment opportunities for people who are blind or severely disabled. Committee regulation 41 CFR 51–2.4 states that for a commodity or service to be suitable for addition to the Procurement List, each of the following criteria must be satisfied: (1) the addition to the Procurement List must demonstrate a potential to generate employment of people who are blind or have other severe disabilities; (2) the nonprofit agency proposing to provide the product or service to the Federal Government must be qualified to participate in the AbilityOne program as defined in separate Committee regulations; (3) the nonprofit agency must prove itself capable to deliver the product or service at the quality standard and delivery schedule required by the Government; and (4) the Committee reviews the level of impact on the current contractor for the commodity or service. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning employment potential, the qualifications of the nonprofit agency, the capability of the recommended nonprofit agency to provide the products, and the impact of the addition on the current or most recent contractor, the Committee has determined that the products listed above are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4 at a Fair Market Price and has approved the products for addition to the Procurement List. Deletions On 4/1/2016 (81 FR 18839–18840), 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 services 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.
