17782 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 70 / Friday, April 11, 1997 / Notices

activity determined the contractor

nonresponsible for extensions of its

contract to perform the service, shortly

before the contractor’s actions made the

default termination necessary.

By its own actions, the contractor lost

its contract to perform this janitorial

service and has excluded itself from

future contracts. Consequently, the

Committee has concluded that the

addition of the service to the

Procurement List will not be the cause

of any severe adverse impact on the

contractor. Similarly, loss of jobs for the

contractor’s employees has occurred

because of the contractor’s actions, not

the Committee’s.

Most of the concerns over capability

of people with severe disabilities to

perform the janitorial service relate to

special areas called ‘‘clean rooms,’’

which have been removed from the

contract requirements for the service as

it will be performed by the nonprofit

agency. In addition, the nonprofit

agency is experienced in performing

services at the same and a neighboring

Government installation, in buildings

which are no more accessible to people

with severe disabilities than those

involved in this janitorial service. Many

people with severe disabilities have the

agility and other abilities required to

work safely on this service.

Accordingly, the Committee has

concluded that the nonprofit agency is

capable of performing the service.

After consideration of the material

presented to it concerning capability of

qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the service and impact of the addition

on the current or most recent

contractors, the Committee has

determined that the service listed below

is 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

service to the Government.

2. The action will not have a severe

economic impact on current contractors

for the service.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

service 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 service proposed

for addition to the Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following service is

hereby added to the Procurement List:

Janitorial/Custodial

Cape Canaveral Air Station and

Annexes

Cape Canaveral, 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.
