SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additions
On 5/26/2017 (82 FR 101) and 12/22/2017 (82 FR 245), the Committee
for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published
notices of proposed additions to the Procurement List.
After consideration of the material presented to it concerning
capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the products and
impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the
Committee has determined that the products 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 products to the
Government.
[[Page 4911]]
2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish
the products 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 proposed for addition to the
Procurement List.
End of Certification
Accordingly, the following products are added to the Procurement
List:

Comments were received from one (1) potentially affected
subcontractor in response to the Commission's notice published in the
Federal Register. In its comment, the subcontractor asserts that ``. .
. from a legal perspective, it could easily be argued that [we are] the
`current contractor' as Lockheed Martin is simply a distributor . . .''
In accordance with 41 CFR 51-2.4(4), Level of impact on the current
contractor, the Commission completed an impact analysis on the
commercial entity that is the current contractor for the Government
that is providing the product or service being considered for addition
to the Procurement List. As the commenter identified itself as a
subcontractor to the Government prime contractor, the Commission was
not required to consider impact on the commercial entity represented by
the commenter.

Mandatory for: The requirements of military commissaries and
exchanges in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations 41 CFR
