SBA Considers Waiver of Nonmanufacturer Rule for General Aviation Turboprop Aircraft

Summary

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule, which would allow qualified regular dealers to supply products from domestic manufacturers on federal contracts set aside for small businesses or awarded through the SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program, as no small business manufacturers are currently supplying these aircraft to the Federal government.
