Notice
Summary
The government plans to add two new services to its special Procurement List, meaning nonprofit groups that help people who are blind or severely disabled will get these contracts. One is a supply store at Minot Air Force Base, and the other is janitorial work at an FAA tower in Georgia. They’re also removing some old products and services from the list, with comments due by April 11, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Minot AFB Supply Store Contract
The Committee proposes to add a Contractor Operated Civil Engineer Supply Store at Minot Air Force Base, ND to the Procurement List and designate South Texas Lighthouse for the Blind (Corpus Christi, TX) as the authorized source. This means that government purchases for that supply store would be mandatory to buy from that nonprofit that employs people who are blind or have severe disabilities.
Athens FAA Tower Janitorial Contract
The Committee proposes to add janitorial services for the Federal Aviation Administration Athens Air Traffic Control Tower in Athens, GA to the Procurement List and designate Bobby Dodd Institute, Inc. (Atlanta, GA) as the source. Government purchases for janitorial work at that FAA tower would be mandatory to buy from that nonprofit that employs people who are blind or have other severe disabilities.
Removal of Hole-Punch Product
The Committee proposes to delete NSN 7520-01-620-3826 (high-capacity 2-hole paper hole punch, 30-sheet capacity, black base) from the Procurement List; the product had been furnished by Access: Supports for Living Inc., Middletown, NY. Removing the product from the List means that Access: Supports for Living Inc. would no longer be the designated mandatory government source for that item.
