Small Business Size Standards: Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

摘要

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is granting a class waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Not-Portable, Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (CS-MS) Systems, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Systems, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Systems, and, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) Systems under Product Service Code (PSC) 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies), under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). The basis for waiver is that no small business manufacturers are supplying these classes of products to the Federal government. The effect of this waiver will be to 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 or Participants in SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) Program.
