PART 9_CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart 9.1_Responsible Prospective Contractors
 
Sec.  9.107  Surveys of nonprofit agencies serving people who are blind or 
have other severe disabilities under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Program.

    (a) The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely 
Disabled (Committee), as authorized by 41 U.S.C. 46-48c, determines what 
supplies and services Federal agencies are required to purchase from 
JWOD participating nonprofit agencies serving people who are blind or 
have other severe disabilities (see subpart 8.7). The Committee is 
required to find a JWOD participating nonprofit agency capable of 
furnishing the supplies or services before the nonprofit agency can be 
designated as a mandatory source under the JWOD Program. The Committee 
may request a contracting office to assist in assessing the capabilities 
of a nonprofit agency.
    (b) The contracting office, upon request from the Committee, shall 
request a capability survey from the activity responsible for performing 
preaward surveys, or notify the Committee that the JWOD participating 
nonprofit agency is capable, with supporting rationale, and that the 
survey is waived. The capability survey will focus on the technical and 
production capabilities and applicable preaward survey elements to 
furnish specific supplies or services being considered for addition to 
the Procurement List.
    (c) The contracting office shall use the Standard Form 1403 to 
request a capability survey of organizations employing people who are 
blind or have other severe disabilities.
    (d) The contracting office shall furnish a copy of the completed 
survey, or notice that the JWOD participating nonprofit agency is 
capable and the survey is waived, to the Executive Director, Committee 
for Purchase from People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled.
