SBA Considers Waiver of Nonmanufacturer Rule for Power-Driven Handtool Manufacturers

Summary

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule, which would allow qualified regular dealers to supply products from any domestic manufacturer 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 products to the federal government.
