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 products and 

services to the Procurement List that 

will be furnished by nonprofit agencies 

employing persons who are blind or 

have other severe disabilities. 

DATES: Effective Date: June 26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Committee for Purchase 

From People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled, Jefferson Plaza 2, Suite 10800, 

1421 Jefferson Davis Highway, 

Arlington, Virginia, 22202–3259.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Additions 

On 1/22/2010 (75 FR 3714); 3/19/2010 

(75 FR 13263–13264); 4/9/2010 (75 FR 

18164–18165); and 4/30/2010 (75 FR 

22744–22745), the Committee for 

Purchase From People Who Are Blind 

or Severely Disabled published notices 

of proposed additions to the 

Procurement List. 

Glove, Mechanic’s 

A commercial company submitted 

comments objecting to the proposed 

addition. The comments from the 

company states that they manufacture 

gloves they claim ‘‘could be considered 

similar’’ to the gloves identified in the 

notice of proposed addition to the 

Procurement List. The company asserts 

that the nonprofit agency identified to 

produce the gloves described in the 

proposed Procurement List addition 

notice also packages and distributes 

other gloves in a manner which may 

violate certain federal statutes. The 

company asserts that the packaging and 

distribution of already manufactured 

products adds minimal value and does 

not constitute substantial transformation 

of the product sufficient to place the 

item on the Procurement List. 

In this instance, the description of the 

work performed by the nonprofit agency 

sufficiently describes the actions the 

employees who are blind or have other 

severe disabilities will perform in order 

to provide the gloves to the government. 

The remaining claims of the company 

are speculative in nature and not related 

to the particular product being 

considered by the Committee. 

Nonetheless, the nonprofit agency 

provided a letter that certifies its intent 

to provide the mechanic’s gloves in 

compliance with the Acts cited by 

CamelBak in its correspondence to the 

Committee. Therefore, in accordance 

with its statutory and regulatory 

obligations, the Committee has 

evaluated this project and determined it 

suitable for addition to the Procurement 

List. 

Gloves, Impact 

The Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant 

to statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Committee regulations 

states that for a commodity or service to 

be suitable for addition to the 

Procurement List each of the following 

criteria must be satisfied: employment 

potential; nonprofit agency 

qualifications, capability, and level of 

impact on the current contractor for the 

commodity or service. 

A commercial company submitted 

comments objecting to the proposed 

addition. The comments from the 

company states that they manufacture 

gloves they claim ‘‘could be considered 

similar’’ to the gloves identified in the 

notice of proposed addition to the 

Procurement List. The company asserts 

that the nonprofit agency identified to 

produce the gloves described in the 

proposed Procurement List addition 

notice, also packages and distributes 

other gloves in a manner which may 

violate the Trade Agreement Act. The 

company further states that the subject 

gloves may be manufactured in 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 122 / Friday, June 25, 2010 / Notices 36363 

Bangladesh of non-U.S. components 

and, therefore, the packaging of the 

subject gloves by the designated 

nonprofit does not constitute substantial 

transformation and thus is a misuse of 

the Procurement List addition process. 

The Committee’s responsibility under 

the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 

46–48c) is to promote employment 

opportunities for people who are blind 

or with other severe disabilities that 

have an unemployment rate far above 

people without severe disabilities. In 

this instance, the description of the 

work performed by the nonprofit 

agency, where they will obtain their raw 

materials, and the actual sewing and 

packaging process they will provide, 

sufficiently describes the actions the 

employees who are blind or have other 

severe disabilities will perform in order 

to provide the gloves to the government. 

The claims of the company are 

speculative in nature and not related to 

the particular product being considered 

by the Committee. Nonetheless, the 

nonprofit agency provided a letter that 

certifies its intent to provide the impact 

gloves in compliance with the Acts 

cited by CamelBak in its 

correspondence to the Committee. 

The Committee followed its 

regulatory requirements in considering 

this project and has determined that this 

project is suitable for addition to the 

Procurement List. Addition of this 

project to the Procurement List will 

result in employment for people who 

are blind or have other severe 

disabilities. 

Dining Facility Attendant Service and 

Cook Support, Joint Base LewisMcChord, WA 

The Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (Committee) operates pursuant 

to statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Committee decisions on 

what items are suitable for addition to 

the Procurement List (PL) are 

specifically guided by regulations in 41 

CFR Chapter 51. In order for a 

commodity or service to be suitable for 

addition to the PL, each of the following 

criteria must be satisfied: employment 

potential; nonprofit agency 

qualifications, capability, and level of 

impact on the current contractor for the 

commodity or service. 

The specific service in this instance is 

dining facility attendant service and 

cook support at Joint Base Lewis and 

McChord (JBLM). Currently there are 3 

food service contracts in place for Fort 

Lewis and McChord AFB. Only one of 

those is a full food service contract 

under the Randolph-Sheppard Act and 

awarded through the WDSB—the full 

food service contract for Fort Lewis. The 

remaining 2 contracts are for dining 

facility attendants at Fort Lewis and 

McChord, and are not under the 

Randolph-Sheppard Act. Additionally, 

these contracts were not awarded 

through WDSB. This proposed PL 

Addition includes only dining facility 

attendant service and cook support at 

JBLM. It does not include the full food 

service contract in place at Fort Lewis 

that is in the Randolph-Sheppard Act 

program and awarded through WDSB. 

Therefore, the proposed addition does 

not violate section 856 of the FY2007 

NDAA. 

Committee members, having 

considered the comments from WSDB, 

NFB, and the current contractor 

regarding the full food service contract, 

have determined that this proposed 

addition of dining facility attendant 

service and cook support at JBLM meets 

the Committee statutory and regulatory 

requirements and will be added to the 

Procurement List. 

After consideration of the material 

presented to it concerning capability of 

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide 

the products and services and impact of 

the additions on the current or most 

recent contractors, the Committee has 

determined that the products and 

services listed below are suitable for 

procurement by the Federal Government 

under 41 U.S.C. 46–48c 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 

products and services to the 

Government. 

2. The action will result in 

authorizing small entities to furnish the 

products and 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. 46–48c) in 

connection with the products and 

services proposed for addition to the 

Procurement List.
