SBA Grants Waiver of Nonmanufacturer Rule for Small Business Suppliers of Electrical Equipment

Summary

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is waiving the Nonmanufacturer Rule for small businesses that manufacture All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing, as no small businesses currently supply this product to the federal government, allowing qualified regular dealers to supply products from domestic manufacturers on federal contracts set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or the SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program.
