Termination of the Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing

The decision to terminate this waiver of the Nonmanufaturer Rule is based on evidence provided to the SBA that there are small businesses which manufacture items within this class of product. Terminating this waiver will require recipients of contracts set aside for small or 8(a) businesses to provide the product of domestic small business manufacturers or processors where this class of product is required. A notice to terminate a waiver the Nonmanufacturer Rule appeared in the Federal Register on July 9, 2003 (68 FR 40820). Comments from this notice were received from small business manufacturers. Our knowledge of the existence of small business manufacturers requires us to terminate the waiver of the Nonmanufacturer for Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing, NAICS 332992, in accordance with 13 CFR 121.1204 (a)(7).
