Small Business Size Standards; Environmental Remediation Services

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is establishing a size standard of 500 employees for Environmental Remediation Services, an activity which involves work identified with a number of different functions associated with restoring a contaminated environment, such as: preliminary assessment, site inspection, testing, remedial investigation, containment, remedial action, the transportation and disposal of waste materials, and security and site closeouts. The application of this size standard will be for Federal environmental remediation procurements which involve three or more environmentally related activities which in turn can be identified in separate industries under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. It will also apply in SBA's non-procurement programs where an applicant firm is primarily engaged in environmental remediation services as defined by this final rule. The adopted size standard of 500 employees is, in practical effect, an increase above the size standard of $18.0 million proposed on October 8, 1993 (58 FR 52452). This higher size standard is supported by more recent data describing the industry structure for this activity, as well as by comments
