AI Contract Overview

The Committee for Purchase is considering adding a range of personal care products, including various sizes and types of GOJO/SKILCRAFT and PURELL hand soaps, shampoos, hand sanitizers, and wall dispensers, to the Procurement List under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act. This legislation aims to provide employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have severe disabilities by requiring Federal Government purchases of these products from nonprofit agencies employing such individuals. If added to the Procurement List, these products would be bought exclusively from designated nonprofit agencies. Before making this determination, the Committee is seeking impact information from commercial firms currently supplying these products to the government through MAS/BPA contracts. The Committee will evaluate whether adding these products to the list would severely affect a company's overall financial situation by reviewing total annual sales and revenue specifically derived from the products in question over the most recent 12-month period. Firms are asked to provide substantiating documentation, including audited data if available, and to disclose related sales of affiliated or subsidiary companies. Confidentiality will be maintained upon request. Failure to submit the requested information by the specified deadline will lead the Committee to assume no severe adverse impact exists, allowing the addition to proceed. This process ensures the Committee balances workforce inclusion objectives with the economic impact on current commercial suppliers.

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 +1 (555) 000-0000 for further information.
