to procure the commodity and service listed below from nonprofit

service to the Government.

the commodity and service to the Government.

accomplish the objectives of the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46-
48c) in connection with the commodity and service proposed for addition 
to the Procurement List.
    Comments on this certification are invited. Commenters should
