qualified nonprofit agencies to provide

the commodities, fair market price, and

most recent contractors, the Committee

has determined that the commodities

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

commodities to the Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities 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 commodities

proposed for addition to the

Procurement List.

Accordingly, the following

commodities are hereby added to the

Procurement List:

date of this addition or options

exercised under those contracts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

November 14, 1994, the Committee for

Purchase From People Who Are Blind

or Severely Disabled published notice

(59 F.R. 56467) of proposed addition to

the Procurement List.

Comments were received from two

contractors. Both of the commenters

helped develop similar underwear for

another Federal customer, and both

have received contracts to supply that

underwear to Federal agencies other

than the Marine Corps. One has a

sizeable contract with another

Department of Defense agency at this

time.

The contractor that does not currently

have a contract argued that the

Committee should not add 100% of the

Marine Corps requirement to its

Procurement List. The contractor

contended that adding 100% would

preclude it from having the opportunity

to secure future contracts for the

underwear, thereby preventing it from

securing production work to cover its

R&D expenditures. This contractor also

questioned the capability of the

nonprofit agency proposed to develop

and supply the Marine Corps

underwear, citing the difficulty of

manufacturing such items and the

failures of all except two contractors

involved in developing the existing

underwear.

Because no contractor is guaranteed to

receive a contract under the competitive

bidding system, the Committee does not

normally consider loss of the

opportunity to bid on subsequent
