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.

Accordingly, the following products and services are added to the

Service, U.S. Air Force, Arnold Air Force Base, 100 Kindel Drive,
Arnold AFB, TN
NPA: CW Resources, Inc., New Britain, CT
Contracting Activity: Dept of the Air Force, FA9101 AEDC PKP,
Procurement Branch, Arnold AFB, TN
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.
