Additions
On 2/21/2020, 2/28/2020, 3/6/2020
and 3/20/2020, the Committee for
Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled published notice of
proposed additions to the Procurement
List. This notice is published pursuant
to 41 U.S.C. 8503 (a)(2) and 41 CFR 51–
2.3.
After consideration of the material
presented to it concerning capability of
qualified nonprofit agencies to provide
the services and impact of the additions
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.
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
services to the Government.
2. The action will result in
authorizing small entities to furnish the
services 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 services proposed
for addition to the Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following services
are added to the Procurement List:
