This Notice DOES NOT constitute a request for a quote, or proposal for the procurement of products or services. This Notice concerns an action which may affect the ability of commercial industry to sell the products listed in this Notice to the Federal Government.
The U.S. AbilityOne Commission (operating name of the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled) is an independent agency of the Federal Government. The Commission, under the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act of 1971, and through the administration of its AbilityOne® Program, provides employment opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities through Federal Government purchases from nonprofit agencies employing such individuals. Products or services which are required to be purchased by the Federal Government under the authority of the AbilityOne® Program are added to the Commission's Procurement List (PL). The PL can viewed on the agency’s website at www.abilityone.gov. Once a product or service is added to the PL to be provided by a nonprofit agency, no other product determined to be essentially the same can be sold to the Federal government.
By regulation (41 CFR 51-2.4(a)(4) the Commission is required to complete an impact analysis related to the potential addition of the following product(s) to the PL:
NSN: 810012801N
Name: Bag, Paper, Lawn and Leaf, Wax Coated, 10 Gal
Description: Paper bag can be used for lawn and leaf yardwork and features a moisture resistant wax coated lining. 10 Gallon capacity. UOI is BX. BX = 75 bags.
NSN: 810012802N
Name: Bag, Paper, Lawn and Leaf, Wax Coated, 30 Gal
Description: Paper bag can be used for lawn and leaf yardwork and features a moisture resistant wax coated lining. 30 Gallon capacity. UOI is BX. BX = 25 bags.
NSN: 810012803N
Name: Bag, Paper, Lawn and Leaf, 2 Ply, 30 Gal
Description: Paper bag can be used for lawn and leaf yardwork and features a 2-ply construction. Bag measures 16" x 12" x 35" and has a 30 Gallon capacity. UOI is BX. BX = 50 bags.
Should these items be added to the PL, the contracting agency who will be authorized by the Commission to order the products on behalf of the Federal Government under the authority of the AbilityOne Program® will be the GSA/FAS ADMIN SVCS ACQUISITION BR(2.
Before adding a product to the PL, the Commission considers the potential impact that removal from commercial channels of this product, as well as products determined to be essentially the same (ETS) (41CFR 51-5.3(a), would have on the sales of firms that are currently providing the products listed in this Notice to the Federal Government and the extent to which the potentially affected firms are dependent on the income. Once added to the PL, the products determined to be ETS to the product(s) added to the PL will be blocked from being sold to Federal Government agencies. The products that have been thus far determined to likely be essentially the same are:
NSN: 810012801N
ETS Stock Numbers: WCBB10G, JETSESBBIO10G
NSN: 810012802N
ETS Stock Numbers: WCBB30G
NSN: 810012803N
ETS Stock Numbers: BAGRBR30105B0, 76955692140
The items listed above will potentially be added to the PL for the Total (A-List) or Broad (B-List) Government Requirement. That is, should any Federal Government agency determine a need for the product, the procurement of the item will be mandatory by that agency through the AbilityOne® Program.
These products will also be offered through the AbilityOne Distributor Program. If your firm is currently selling these products to the Federal Government through commercial means, your firm will continue to sell these products through your AbilityOne Distributor status and there would be no adverse impact against your firm. If your firm is not an AbilityOne Distributor but would like to become a Distributor, please visit http://abilityone.gov/distributors/potential.html for more information.
If your firm is selling either the item(s) listed above, or the items that have been determined to be ETS, it is important that your firm report the following information to the Committee:
All information requested above must be included in the response. Responses that do not include the information requested will be determined to be non-responsive and will not be included in the impact analysis.
All responses will be held as confidential and will not be released to any outside party.
The information prescribed above must reach the Commission no later than xxxxxx and can be submitted in letter format. If information is not received by the date requested, the Commission will conclude that potentially affected firms have determined that there will be no severe adverse impact should the listed products be added to the PL.
You information should be sent by email to Vanedra Smith at vsmith@abilityone.gov. You may also provide any other information you deem appropriate.
General information concerning the Commission and its authority can be found in Title 41 United States Code, Sections 8501-8506, or Title 41 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 51.
