Federal Acquisition Regulation; Minority Small Business and Capital Ownership

Resumo

The Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council have agreed to an interim rule that amends the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to reflect changes to the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR Parts 121 and 124, which address the Minority Small Business and Capital Ownership Development Program. The rule clarifies eligibility and procedural requirements for procurements under the 8(a) Program. This regulatory action was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review under Executive Order 12866, dated September 30, 1993, and is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804.
