Q18. The Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired would like to request the addition of FAR clause 52.208-9 to

Solicitation Number 47PF0018R0209. The addition of this FAR clause adds the Mandatory purchase requirements for AbilityOne products to your specifications.

The AbilityOne Program is supported and recognized by the Federal Government as a long-standing purchase priority per FAR

8.704(b). The AbilityOne Commission MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD, (link to full MEMORANDUM is below) clarifies the statutory requirement for Federal agencies, and that the products identified are mandatory when appropriated funds are used in construction and architectural-engineering services projects under FAR Part 36.

Defense Acquisition University also recommends including FAR clause 52.208-9 for these types of contracts.

In summary, we are requesting you add:

* FAR clause 52.208-9 to Solicitation Number 47PF0018R0209 per FAR 8.704(b)

* FAR Part 8.005; clause 52.208-9

Including the FAR Part 8.005; clause 52.208-9 Contractor Use of Mandatory Sources of Supply and Services and referencing the applicable sections in your solicitation will direct the General Contractor to provide SKILCRAFT products from the AbilityOne

Procurement List Notice that meet the specifications for the sections as listed below amendment text:

Answer: FAR Clause 52.208-9 will not be incorporated. As prescribed in subpart 8.005, FAR Clause 52.208-9 should be inserted in solicitations and contracts that require a contractor to provide supplies or services for Government use that are on the Procurement List maintained by the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled.
