Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Riepilogo

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is denying a request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Water Treatment Chemicals based on our recent discovery of small business manufacturers for these classes of products. Denying this waiver will require recipients of contracts set aside for small businesses, service- disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program to provide the products of small business manufacturers or processors on such contracts.
