Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

Resumo

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering granting a class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for commercial-type ovens, gas ranges, and ranges, under Product Service Code (PSC) 7310 (Food Cooking, Baking, and Serving Equipment), under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 333318 (Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing). According to the waiver request, no small business manufacturers supply this class of products to the Federal government. Thus, SBA is seeking information on whether there are small business manufacturers of these items. If granted, the waiver would allow otherwise qualified small businesses to supply the product of any manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned (SDVO) small businesses, Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program, or Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs).
