SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On 5/17/2019, the Committee for
Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled published notice of
proposed addition to the Procurement
List.
The Commission received a public
comment from counsel for the current
contractor, citing impact on one
employee who currently performs this
work, lack of experience, and safety
concerns for people with severe
disabilities as the reasons for his client’s
objection to the Commission’s action.
The counsel asked the Commission to
delay the addition of the service to the
Procurement List until he and his client
can address the Commission in person.
For the reasons described below, the
Commission has determined that the
proposed Waste Management Services
are suitable to be added to the
Procurement List.
The mission of the AbilityOne
Program is to create employment
opportunities for people who are blind
or severely disabled through the Federal
procurement system. In the process of
adding products or services to the
Program, the Commission is required to
perform an impact analysis on the
current contractor, which was
accomplished with a finding of no
severe adverse impact. In accordance
with 41 CFR 51–2.4(a)(4), the impact
analysis focused on the company, rather
than a specific individual. Further, if
the project is not added to the
AbilityOne Program, the current
contractor will have to re-compete for a
new contract, with no guarantee of a
winning bid.
For 23 years, the nonprofit agency
proposed to perform the work, CW
Resources, Inc. (CWR), has successfully
provided similar trash hauling services
for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. This
past performance is geographically
relevant, as it is also located in New
London, CT, making CWR familiar with
waste management processes in this
area. In addition, CWR is well
established in the janitorial line of
business, and performs on 46
Procurement List projects that are either
purely janitorial/custodial projects or
have a custodial component (e.g., PL#
20145065, Janitorial, Grounds and
Refuse Collection, U.S. Air Force,
Arnold Air Force Base, TN.)
Regarding the safety of individuals
with significant disabilities, CWR has
identified direct labor positions and
tasks that can be safely performed by
people with significant disabilities. The
E:\FR\FM\30AUN1.SGM
30AUN1
45736
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 169 / Friday, August 30, 2019 / Notices
waste management work includes
janitorial and clerical tasks, both of
which are core competencies for CWR
and other nonprofit agencies in the
AbilityOne Program. CWR will ensure
that the candidates for these direct labor
tasks have the appropriate
documentation of disability to qualify
under the definitions in the JavitsWagner-O’Day Act and the
Commission’s regulation. The
Commission recognizes that some
significant disabilities are not physically
limiting. Further, the Commission
concludes that several of the waste
management tasks can be performed by
a person with one or more functional
limitations described in 41 CFR 51–1.3.
The Commentor requested to make an
oral presentation to the Commission
prior to the Agency’s suitability
determination regarding adding this
service to the Procurement List. The
Commission does not accept meeting
requests from current contractors prior
to commencing deliberations, as there is
no provision in regulation for such
meetings. Rather, any public party may
request reconsideration after a
Commission decision to add a product
or service to the PL.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
the service and impact of the addition
on the current or most recent
contractors, the Committee has
determined that the services listed
below are suitable for procurement by
the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C.
8501–8506 and 41 CFR 51–2.4.
