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 Warehouse Instantly Adjustable Racking Systems. On October 2, 2014, SBA received a request that a class waiver be granted for Warehouse Instantly Adjustable Racking Systems under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), Product Service Code (PSC) 5450 (Miscellaneous Prefabricated Structures). According to the 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 warehouse instantly adjustable racking systems manufacturers. 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 (SDVO) small businesses, Women-Owned small businesses (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned small businesses (EDWOSB), or Participants in the SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) program.
