Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Zusammenfassung

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Paper Products Manufacturing. This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing paper (except new spring and uncoated groundwood paper) from pulp. These establishments may also convert the paper they make. 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.
