SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Addition
On 11/9/2012 (77 FR 67343-67344), the Committee for Purchase From
People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed
addition to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agency 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. 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 organization that will provide the service to the
Government.
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to provide
the service to the Government.
3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would
accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 USC 8501-
8506) in connection with the service proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following service is added to the Procurement
List:
Service
Service Type/Location: Mess Attendant Service and Cook Support, Two
Seasons Dining Facility, 447 North Street, Building 2207, Eielson
Air Force Base, AK.
NPA: Lakeview Center, Inc., Pensacola, FL.
Contracting Activity: Dept of the Air Force, FA5004 354 CONS LGC,
Eielson AFB, AK.
Comments were received from two associations representing
agencies and merchants authorized to provide full-food services to
military dining facilities under the Randolph-Sheppard Act. Both
associations expressed their belief that the mess attendant service
and cook support project identified in this Procurement List
addition should be considered a full-food service project subject to
the Randolph-Sheppard Act.
The Air Force Performance Work Statement, as well as
documentation from the contracting activity, confirms that the
specific requirements of this project do not include full-food
service or the operation of a cafeteria. Government personnel will
operate and manage the dining facilities and the AbilityOne
nonprofit agency will provide dining support services. When full-
food service is not required and the Department of Defense needs
dining support services, those services are appropriate for
performance by a qualified AbilityOne nonprofit agency. Therefore,
following its deliberative review of the suitability of this
project, the Committee For Purchase From People Who Are Blind or
Severely Disabled determined that the mess attendant service and
cook support project does not involve full-food service and will be
added to the Procurement List.

Director, Business Operations.
