Description

This notice does not constitute a request for information, quote or proposal for procurement of products or services. The Committee for Purchase has been asked to consider adding the below listed product(s) to its Procurement List (PL). This action would be taken under the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act of 1971, whose purposes include providing employment opportunities for persons who are blind or have other severe disabilities through Federal Government purchases from nonprofit agencies employing such individuals. Product(s) added to the PL must subsequently be purchased from a nonprofit agency(ies) designated by the Committee. An addition to the PL could have severe adverse impact on a company's overall financial status. The following items have been identified: Jumbo Toilet Tissue/Center Pull Towels, NSN 8540-00NIB-0007 - 2 ply Jumbo Roll, 2000 feet of paper, 12 inch diameter, 6 rolls per box; 8540-00-NIB-0061 - 1 ply Jumbo Roll, 2000 feet of paper, 9 inch diameter, 12 rolls per box; 8540-00-NIB-0063 - 2 ply Jumbo Roll, 1000 feet of paper, 9 inch diameter, 12 rolls per box; 8540-00-NIB-0064 - Center Pull Towels, 2 ply white, 600 sheets at 8.25 x 12 inches per sheet, 6 rolls per box. In determining whether a product is suitable for addition to the PL, the Committee considers the impact on commercial firms who are providing the product(s) to the Government as MAS/BPA vendors. Specifically, the Committee considers the potential impact on the firm?s sales, and the extent to which the firm is dependent on the income from such sales to the Federal Government. It is then the Committee's responsibility to determine whether the benefits of adding a product, or a portion thereof, to the PL offset any potential adverse impact on commercial firms. To determine whether the addition of the product(s) listed in this notice would have a severe adverse impact on a firm, the Committee will consider its total annual sales from all sources for the most recent 12-month period for which data is available. It also needs to receive information on the total revenue derived by a company in the same 12-month period from the sale of the products being considered for addition to the PL. Documents substantiating the total revenue sales figures must also be provided. If audited data is available, it should be provided. You may also wish to notify your employees or their representatives about this possible addition to the Procurement List. When the Committee assesses impact on a contractor, it takes into account the sales of the parent, subsidiary, and affiliated corporations as well. If a company is a parent, subsidiary, or affiliated corporation to another corporation, the Committee requests the other corporations to which the company is related and the nature of the relationship be identified, and that total sales information data is provided for the other corporations. If the information provided the Committee is considered confidential, please advise and it will be safeguarded. Because of the tight time constraints associated with adding products to the PL, it is essential that the Committee receive the information by the response date indicated on this notice. If no information is received by that date, the Committee will consider that there will be no severe adverse impact on any commercial firm should the listed product(s) be added to the PL. For more information concerning the Committee and its authority, refer to Title 41 United States Code, Sections 46-48c or Title 41 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 51. You may also telephone Mr. Barry S. Lineback, Operations Analyst on the Committee staff, at (703) 603-0035 for further information.
