Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

الملخص

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Trash Bags Manufacturing. This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) converting plastics resins into plastics bags or pouches; and/or (2) forming, coating, or laminating plastics film or sheet into single web or multi-web plastics bags or pouches. Establishments in this industry may print on the bags or pouches they manufacture. According to the request, no small business manufacturers supply this class of product to the Federal government. If granted, the waiver would allow otherwise qualified regular dealers to supply the products of any domestic manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses; service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program.
