Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Resumo

The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 13 Watt Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), 26 Watt CFLs, and Occupancy Sensors Dual Technology. According to a request, no small business manufacturers supply these classes of product 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 small businesses, or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) Program.
