Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Résumé

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Configured Tape Library Storage Equipment. 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). According to our research, no small business manufacturers supply these classes of products to the Federal government.

If granted, the waiver would allow otherwise qualified small businesses to supply the products of any manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) small businesses or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program.
