Procurement List; Addition
Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled.
ACTION: Addition to the Procurement
List.
AGENCY:
This action adds a service to
the Procurement List that will be
provided by a nonprofit agency
employing persons who are blind or
have other severe disabilities.
DATES: Date added to the Procurement
List: June 17, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase
From People Who Are Blind or Severely
Disabled, 1401 S. Clark Street, Suite

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Addition
On 3/16/2018 (83 FR 52), the
Committee for Purchase From People
Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled
published a 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
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
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 small entities 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.
The Committee finds good cause to
dispense with the 30-day delay in the
effective date normally required by the
Administrative Procedure Act. See 5
U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the
Committee’s Procurement List is
effectuated because of the expiration of
the U.S. Navy NAVSUP Fleet Logistics
Center Norfolk Warehouse Support
Service contract. The Federal customer
contacted, and has worked diligently
with the AbilityOne Program to fulfill
this service need under the AbilityOne
Program. To avoid performance
disruption, and the possibility that the
U.S. Navy will refer its business
elsewhere, this addition must be
effective on June 17, 2018, ensuring
timely execution for a June 18, 2018
start date while still allowing 8 days for
comments. Pursuant to its own
regulation 41 CFR 51–2.4, the
Committee has been in contact with one
of the affected parties, the incumbent of
the expiring contract since May 2017,
and determined that no severe adverse
impact exists. The Committee also
published a notice of proposed
Procurement List addition in the
Federal Register on March 16, 2018,
and did receive comments from the
incumbent contractor. The Committee
has addressed those comments which
are provided in this notice. This
addition will not create a public
hardship and has limited effect on the
public at large, but, rather, will create
new jobs for other affected parties—
people with significant disabilities in
the AbilityOne Program who otherwise
face challenges locating employment.
Moreover, this addition will enable
Federal customer operations to continue
without interruption.

The U.S. AbilityOne Commission,
whose mission is to provide
employment opportunities for
individuals who are blind or have
significant disabilities in the
manufacture and delivery of products
and services to the Federal Government,
received comments from one party with
interests in the proposed addition to the
Procurement List.
The Commenter objected to the
addition of warehouse support service
requirements at Navy Supply
Warehouse, Annapolis, MD to the
Procurement List for three reasons:
suitability of the work for the
AbilityOne Program, inability of a
nonprofit agency to maintain the
mandatory overall direct labor hour
ratio while performing the warehouse
support services requirement, and
financial and business impact to the
small business incumbent.
The Commenter questioned whether
warehouse support services tasks,
including inspecting, receiving and
processing materials; utilizing material
handling equipment (i.e., box truck, fork
lifts, etc.); maintaining accurate records;
and cleaning the warehouse are tasks
suitable for people with significant
disabilities. Pursuant to 41 CFR 51–2.4,
the Commission conducts a suitability
analysis prior to each Procurement List
addition. Similar warehouse support
service requirements are currently on
the Procurement List, and the
Commission has historically considered
this type of work requirement suitable
for the employment of individuals with
significant disabilities. The Commission
notes several nonprofit agencies
currently perform warehouse support
services requirements like the Navy
Supply Warehouse, Annapolis, MD, in
full compliance with the requirements
of the AbilityOne Program.
The Commenter also questioned
whether a nonprofit agency will be able
to maintain the overall direct labor hour
ratio requirement of performing 75% of
the direct labor hours by people who are
blind or significantly disabled. Pursuant
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:53 Jun 07, 2018
Jkt 241001
to 41 U.S.C. 8501(6), a nonprofit agency
in the AbilityOne Program must employ
blind or significantly disabled
individuals at a level no less than 75%
of the agency’s overall direct labor hour
ratio. The Commission notes that
several nonprofit agencies currently
perform warehouse support service
requirements, like Navy Supply
Warehouse, Annapolis, MD, and
maintain compliance with the overall
75% direct labor hour requirement.
Finally, the Commenter asserted
adverse financial and business impact to
its operations should the work
requirement be added to the
Procurement List. The Commission
conducted an analysis of a possible
severe adverse impact on the
Commenter, the incumbent contractor,
in accordance with 41 CFR 51–2.4(a)(4)
and concluded there was no severe
adverse impact.
