Small Business Size Standards; Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Resumo

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for television receiving sets and compact disc players. The basis for these waivers is that no small business manufacturers are supplying these classes of products to the Federal government. The effect of a waiver would be to allow otherwise qualified regular dealers to supply the products of any domestic manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses or awarded through the SBA 8(a) Program. The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments and source information from interested parties
