Procurement List; Additions and

Deletions

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From

People Who Are Blind or Severely

Disabled.

ACTION: Additions to and deletions from

the Procurement List.

SUMMARY: This action adds to the

Procurement List a commodity and

services to be furnished by nonprofit

agencies employing persons who are

blind or have other severe disabilities,

and deletes from the Procurement List

commodities and a service previously

furnished by such agencies.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 22, 1998.

ADDRESSES: 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:

Beverly Milkman (703) 603–7740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 5, April 3 and 20, 1998, the

Committee for Purchase From People

Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled

published notices (63 FR 203, 16470

and 19474) of proposed additions to and

deletions from the Procurement List:

Additions

The following comments pertain to

Shirt, Sleeping.

Comments were received from the

current contractor for the sleeping

shirts. The contractor indicated that the

shirts are an important part of one of its

plants’ production during certain

months of the year.

While these shirts may be important

to one of the contractor’s three plants for

part of the year, the Committee looks at

the overall impact of a Procurement List

addition on the contractor’s total sales

when it makes its impact

determinations. The impact of this

addition on the contractor’s total sales is

very small, and well below the level

which the Committee normally

considers to be severe adverse impact.

The Committee is only adding ten

percent of the Government requirement

for the shirts to the Procurement List at

this time, which will leave 50 percent

of the requirement available for

competitive procurement from this

contractor or its competitors. The

Committee’s earlier addition to the

Procurement List of 40 percent of the

Government requirement caused only a

slight decline in the contractor’s sales.

Consequently, the Committee does not

believe that addition of the sleeping

shirts to the Procurement List will have

a severe adverse impact on the

contractor.

The following comments pertain to

Central Facility Management, The

Jimmy Carter Presidential Library,

Atlanta, Georgia.

Comments were received from the

current contractor for this service. The

contractor noted that it expects a severe

reduction in its total sales during this
