SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Additions

On 2/8/2019 (84 FR 2823), the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice of its intent to add the Airborne Tactical Assault Panel (A-TAP) to the Procurement List for 50% of the U.S. Army's A-TAP requirement. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-2.4 and 51-5.3, the Committee subsequently determined 50% of the U.S. Army's A-TAP requirement was suitable for addition and published a notice of product addition on 3/29/2019 (84 FR 11935). However, the 3/29/2019 notice inadvertently omitted that only 50% of the U.S. Army's ATAP requirement was suitable for addition and the Committee's determination is corrected here.

Additionally, on 11/16/2018 (83 FR 57722), the Committee published its notice of intent to add the Airborne Rucksack, Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment (MOLLE), OCP 2015, to the Procurement List for 20,000 annual units to meet a U.S. Army requirement. In accordance with 41 CFR 51-2.4 and 51-5.3, the Committee subsequently determined 20,000 annual units of production was suitable for addition and published a notice of product addition on 3/29/2019 (84 FR 11935). However, the 3/29/2019 notice inadvertently omitted that only 20,000 units annually was suitable for addition and the Committee's determination is corrected here. This notice is published pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 8503(a)(2).
