Termination of the Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

The decision to terminate this waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule is based on evidence provided to the SBA that there are small businesses which manufacturer 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 of the Nonmanufacturer Rule appeared in the Federal Register on October 29, 2003 (68 FR 61636). 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 Ammunition (except small arms) Manufacturing, NAICS 332993, in accordance with 13 CFR 121.1204 (a)(7).
