SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Additions On March 26, 2026 (91 FR 14684) and April 30, 2026 (91 FR 23247), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission) published an initial notice of proposed additions to the Procurement List. The Committee determined that the service(s) listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government and has added these service(s) to the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for the contracting activities listed. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.3(b), the mandatory purchase requirement is limited to the contracting activities at the locations listed, and in accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has authorized the nonprofit agencies listed as the authorized source(s) of supply. On March 26, 2026 (91 FR 14684) and April 30, 2026 (91 FR 23247), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed additions to the Procurement List. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503 (a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the service(s) and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the service(s) 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 additional reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities. 2. The action may result in authorizing small entities to furnish the service(s) 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 service(s) added to the Procurement List. End of Certification Accordingly, the following service(s) are added to the Procurement List: Service(s) Service Type: Lawn care Mandatory For: NOAA, Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory, Miami, FL., 4301 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, FL Authorized Source of Supply: Goodwill Industries of South Florida, Inc., Miami, FL Contracting Activity: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, NOAA Service Type: Base Operations Services Mandatory For: US Air Force, Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, JBER, AK, 10480 Sijan Avenue, JBER, AK Authorized Source of Supply: Skookum Educational Programs, Bremerton, WA Contracting Activity: DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE, FA5000 673 CONS LGC The Committee finds good cause to dispense with the 30-day delay in the effective date normally required by the Administrative Procedure Act. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This addition to the Committee's Procurement List is effectuated because of the expiration of the Department of the Air Force, Base Operations Maintenance Services (BOMS), Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Anchorage, AK, contract. The Federal customer contacted and has worked diligently with the AbilityOne Program to fulfill this service need under the AbilityOne Program. To avoid performance disruption, and the possibility that the Department of the Air Force will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on August 9, 2026, ensuring timely execution for a August 9, 2026 start date. The Committee published an initial notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the Federal Register on March 26, 2026 (91 FR 14684) but did not receive any comments. This addition will not create a public hardship and has limited effect on the public at large. Rather, this addition will create new jobs for other affected parties—people with significant disabilities in the AbilityOne program who otherwise face challenges locating employment. Moreover, this addition enables the Federal customer to continue operations without interruption. Michael R. Jurkowski, Director, Business Operations.
