SBA is initiating a request that an class waiver be granted for Configured Tape Library Storage Equipment, Product Service Code (PSC) 7025 Automated Data Processing (ADP) Input/ Output and Storage Devices, 7035 ADP Support Equipment, and 7045 ADP Supplies, under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334112 (Computer Storage Device Manufacturing).
