## 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-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 8501-8506) in connection with the products and services proposed for addition to the Procurement List.

## End of Certification

Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the Procurement List:

*Additional Information:*                     The Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) and U.S. AbilityOne Commission (Commission) have agreed to a mutually beneficial approach to adding the AEDC's requirement for Custodial, Grounds, and Refuse Service to the Commission's Procurement List (PL) while assuring reasonable stability in the AEDC workforce. Due to unique workforce considerations at AEDC, the Commission will issue a Purchase Exception (PE) for the period October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2019; therefore, the PL addition will not be implemented or “active” until October 1, 2019.                

During the PE period, the AEDC and Commission have agreed to ensure a plan is developed to transition the custodial, grounds, and refuse collection (Big Three) requirements from the incumbent Facility Support Service (FSS) contractor to the designated NPA—including the process for negotiating a firm-fixed price contract. A key component of the transition plan will be a communications strategy of how the Big Three effort will be transitioned to performance under the AbilityOne Program in accordance with the PL.

As AEDC implements its acquisition strategy to acquire FSS for the PE period, it has agreed to incorporate language into the FSS contract that (1) provides notice that the requirement for custodial, grounds, and refuse service is on the PL, and requirements for these services will be performed by the NPA designated by the Commission no later than October 1, 2019 and (2) encourages the contractor to employ people with disabilities.
