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.
