COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM

PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR

SEVERELY DISABLED

Procurement List Additions

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From

People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled.

ACTION: Additions to the Procurement

List.

SUMMARY: This action adds to the

Procurement List services to be

furnished by nonprofit agencies

employing persons who are blind or

have other severe disabilities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 23, 2000.

ADDRESS: Committee for Purchase From

People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled, Crystal Gateway 3, Suite 310,

1215 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, Virginia 22202–4302.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Leon A. Wilson, Jr. (703) 603–7740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 29 and December 10,

1999, the Committee for Purchase From

People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled published notices (64 FR

69225 and 66611) of proposed additions

to the Procurement List.

The Following Comments Pertain to

Grounds Maintenance/Vegetation

Control, Concord Naval Weapons

Station, Concord, California

Comments were received from the

current contractor for this service in

response to a request for sales data. The

contractor indicated that losing this

contract would have a severe adverse

impact on the company because of the

percentage of the company’s total sales

it represents and because the company

would be unable to replace the lost

revenue with a similar contract

‘‘anytime soon.’’ The percentage of the

company’s total sales which its contract

for this service represents is well below

the level which the Committee normally

considers to constitute severe adverse

impact on a company which loses a

service to the Procurement List. In

addition, the contractor’s uncertainty

about when it would be able to replace

the lost revenue indicates that the

possibility of mitigating the less than

severe impact it will experience is not

a remote one. Consequently, the

Committee believes that addition of this

service to the Procurement List will not

have a severe adverse impact on the

company.

The Following Material Pertains to the

Two Services Being Added to the

Procurement List:

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.

46–48c and 41 CFR 51–2.4. 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 not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

services to the Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46—48c) in

connection with the services proposed

for addition to the Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following services

are hereby added to the Procurement

List:

Grounds Maintenance/Vegetation

Control, Concord Naval Weapons

Station, Concord, Calfornia.

Janitorial/Grounds Maintenance, U.S.

Department of Agriculture, U.S.

Horticultural Research Laboratory, Fort

Pierce, Florida.

This action does not affect current

contracts awarded prior to the effective

date of this addition or options that may

be exercised under those contracts.

Deputy Director (Operations).
