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 product(s) and service(s) and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the product(s) and service(s) 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 product(s) and service(s) to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product(s) and service(s) 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 product(s) and service(s) proposed for addition to the Procurement List. End of Certification Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement List: Service(s) Service Type: Patient Access and Referral Accountability Service Mandatory for: U.S. Air Force, Colorado Military Health System, Colorado Springs, CO Designated Source of Supply: Global Connections to Employment, Inc., Pensacola, FL Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA7000 10 CONS LGC 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 Department of the Air Force, Patient Access and Referral Accountability Services, USAF, CMHS, Colorado Springs, CO contract. The Federal customer contacted and has worked diligently with the AbilityOne Program to fulfill this service need under the PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 AbilityOne Program. To avoid performance disruption, and the possibility that the Department of the Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on February 28, 2023, ensuring timely execution for a March 1, 2023 start date while still allowing 6 days for comment. The Committee also published a notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on December 9, 2022 and did not receive any comments from any interested persons. 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. Michael R. Jurkowski, Acting Director, Business Operations.
