NPA: Morningside, Olympia, WA Contracting Activity: Dept of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Procurement Directorate, Washington, DC Service Type/Location: Base Operations Support Services (BOSS), Department of Public Works (DPW), 453 Novosel Street, Fort Rucker, AL.

A commercial contractor submitted comments indicating its opposition to adding the services to the AbilityOne Procurement List. The contractor states that having the services provided by AbilityOne ® Program nonprofit agencies will result in higher costs to the Government. The contractor argues that the services should be acquired through a competitive procurement involving small businesses.

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (Committee) administers the AbilityOne Program in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 8501 et seq. Pursuant to the statute, the Commission’s responsibilities include determining which products and services produced or provided by qualified nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or with other severe disabilities, are suitable for procurement by the Government and establishing the fair market price for products and services placed on the Procurement List. Consequently, Congress has determined that it is in the Government’s best interest to have a program designed to promote employment for people who are blind or severely disabled and have charged the members of the agency appointed by the President to make the appropriate programmatic decisions, including how the Government will acquire certain items and the price they will pay for such items. The commercial contractor that submitted comments did not provide any evidence that the services will not be provided at a fair market price as established by the Committee.

Information was also submitted from a representative of the Army contracting command headquarters responsible for this project. The representative provided information from the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for this project, including identification of specific services required in the PWS, and recommended that the Committee cite these in its description of the services to be added to the Procurement List.

When the Committee considers service projects for addition to the Procurement List, the PWS is among the documents provided for their consideration. Accordingly, the Committee has specific PWS information on the services and locations of the proposed project. The Committee’s practice in describing a service requirement by name is to sufficiently inform the public and the applicable Federal agency that will procure the service, without identifying specific functions or tasks in that name. However, the service provided is defined more specifically within the Committee’s records and is bounded by the Government’s requirement as defined in the relevant PWS.

**DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE**

**Office of the Secretary**

**Renewal of the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Air Force Academy** 

**AGENCY :**  DoD.

**ACTION :**  Renewal of Federal Advisory Committee.

**SUMMARY :**  Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102– 3.50(d), the Department of Defense gives notice that it is renewing the charter for the Board of Visitors of the U.S. Air Force Academy (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the Board’’).

The Board is a non-discretionary federal advisory committee that shall provide independent advice and recommendations on matters relating to the U.S. Air Force Academy, to include morale, discipline, and social climate, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy that the Board decides to consider.

The Board shall prepare a semiannual report containing its views and recommendations pertaining to the U.S. Air Force Academy, based on its meeting since the last such report and any other considerations it determines relevant. Each such report shall be submitted concurrently to the Secretary of Defense, through the Secretary of the Air Force, and to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives.

The Board is constituted annually, and it shall be composed of not more than 15 members. Under the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 9355(a) and (b)(2), the Board members shall include:

a. Six persons designated by the President, at least two of whom shall be graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy;

b. The chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, or his designee;

c. Four persons designated by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, three of whom shall be members of the House of Representatives and the fourth of whom may not be a member of the House of Representatives;

d. The chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, or his designee;

e. Three other members of the Senate designated by the Vice President or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two of whom are members of the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate.

The Board members referenced in paragraph (a) above, designated by the President, shall serve for three years except that any member whose term of office has expired shall continue to serve until a successor is appointed. In addition, the President shall designate persons each year to succeed the members referenced in (a) above whose terms expire that year.

The Board members shall select the Board Chairperson and Vice Chairperson from the total membership.

If a member of the Board dies or resigns or is terminated as a member of the Board, a successor shall be designated for the unexpired portion of the term by the official who designated the member.

Each member of the Board who is a member of the Armed Forces or a civilian officer or employee of the United States shall serve without compensation (other than compensation to which entitled as a member of the Armed Forces or an officer or employee of the United States, respectively). Individuals appointed by the President shall receive no compensation for their service on the Board. While performing duties as a member of the Board, each member of the Board and each adviser shall be reimbursed under Government travel regulations for travel expenses.

If a member of the Board fails to attend two successive Board meetings, except in a case in which an absence is approved in advance for good cause by the Board chairperson, such failure shall be grounds for termination from membership on the Board, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 9355(c)(2)(A) (‘‘absenteeism provision’’).
