This final notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503(a)(2) and 41 CFR 51-2.3. The Committee has determined that the product(s) and service(s) listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government and has added these product(s) and service(s) to the Procurement List as a mandatory purchase for Federal entities. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-5.2, the Committee has authorized the qualified nonprofit agencies described with the product(s) and service(s) as the mandatory source(s) of supply. After consideration of the material presented to it concerning capability of qualified nonprofit agencies to provide the product(s) and impact of the additions on the current or most recent contractors, the Committee has determined that the product(s) listed below are suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501-8506 and 41 CFR 51-2.4. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification</HD> 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 product(s) and service(s) to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product(s) and 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 product(s) and service(s) proposed for addition to the Procurement List. <HD SOURCE="HD1">End of Certification</HD> Accordingly, the following product(s) are added to the Procurement List: <EXTRACT> <HD SOURCE="HD2">Product(s)</HD> <FP SOURCE="FP-2">NSN(s)—Product Name(s): 6510-01-598-8418—Bandage, Compression, I, Flat Fold</FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Authorized Source of Supply:</E> Alphapointe, Kansas City, MO </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Mandatory For:</E> DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Contracting Activity:</E> DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY, DLA TROOP SUPPORT, MEDICAL SUPPLY CHAIN FSF </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Distribution:</E> C-List 1005-01-706-2547—Buttstock, Subassembly, Black </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Authorized Source of Supply:</E> DePaul Industries, Portland, OR </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Mandatory For:</E> DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Contracting Activity:</E> DLA LAND AND MARITIME, LAND SUPPLIER OPERATIONS SMS </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Distribution:</E> C-List </FP> <HD SOURCE="HD2">Service(s)</HD> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Service Type:</E> Laundry and Linen Service </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Mandatory for:</E> Department of Veteran Affairs, VISN 7, Multiple Locations, GA, SC </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Authorized Source of Supply:</E> Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center, Inc. </FP> <FP SOURCE="FP-2"> <E T="03">Contracting Activity:</E> DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, 247-NETWORK CONTRACT OFC 7(00247) </FP> </EXTRACT> 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 Veteran Affairs, VISN 7, Multiple Locations, GA, SC Laundry and Linen Service 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 Veteran Affairs will refer its business elsewhere, this addition must be effective on January 12, 2026, ensuring timely execution for a January 12, 2026 start date. The Committee published an initial notice of proposed Procurement List addition in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> on September 18, 2026 (90 FR 45023) 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. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Deletions</HD> On November 20, 2026 (90 FR 52358), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of proposed deletions from 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 relevant matter presented, the Committee has determined that the product(s) and service(s) listed below are no longer suitable for procurement by the Federal Government under 41 U.S.C. 8501-8506 and 41 CFR 51-2.4. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification</HD> I certify that the following action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
