SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

    On 5/28/2021, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the 
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 
(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
    After consideration of the material presented to it concerning 
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s) 
and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, 
the Committee has determined that the service(s) listed below are 
suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 
8501-8506 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 product(s) and 
service(s) to the Government.
    2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product(s) and service(s) to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 
8501-8506) in connection with the product(s) and service(s) proposed 
for addition to the Procurement List.

End of Certification

    Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement 
List:

Service(s)

Service Type: Facility Management.
Mandatory for: U.S. Air Force, Airmen-In-Training Dormitories, 
Sheppard Air Force Base, TX.
Designated Source of Supply: Work Services Corporation, Wichita 
Falls, TX.
Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA3020 82 CONS LGC.

    The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in 
the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure 
Act. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the Committee's Procurement 
List is

[[Page 46839]]

effectuated because of the expiration of the U.S. Air Force, Facility 
Management, AIT Dormitories, Sheppard AFB, TX contract. The Federal 
customer contacted and has worked diligently with the AbilityOne 
Program to fulfill this service need under the AbilityOne Program. To 
avoid performance disruption, and the possibility that the U.S. Air 
Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be 
effective on August 31, 2021, ensuring timely execution for a September 
1, 2021, start date while still allowing 11 days for comment. Pursuant 
to its own regulation 41 CFR 51-2.4, the Committee determined that no 
severe adverse impact exists as government employees are currently 
providing the service. The Committee also published a notice of 
proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on May 28, 
2021 and did not receive any comments from any interested persons, 
including from the incumbent contractor. This addition will not create 
a public hardship and has limited effect on the public at large, but, 
rather, will create new jobs for other affected parties--people with 
significant disabilities in the AbilityOne program who otherwise face 
challenges locating employment. Moreover, this addition will enable 
Federal customer operations to continue without interruption.

Deletions

    On 7/16/2021, the Committee for Purchase from People Who Are Blind 
or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from the 
Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 
(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3.
    After consideration of the relevant matter presented, the Committee 
has determined that the product(s) and service(s) listed below are no 
longer suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 
U.S.C. 8501-8506 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 additional reporting, record 
keeping or other compliance requirements for small entities.
    2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish 
the product(s) and service(s) to the Government.
    3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would 
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 
8501-8506) in connection with the product(s) and service(s) deleted 
from the Procurement List.
