Small Business Size Standards; Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule

This notice advises the public that the Small Business Administration (SBA) is establishing a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Towers, Telegraph Apparatus, Turbines, Cellular Handsets and Telephones, Automobile Motor Vehicles, Motor Trucks, and Radiotelephones. The basis for a waiver is that no small business manufacturers are available to participate in the Federal market for these products. The effect of a waiver will allow otherwise qualified nonmanufacturers to supply the products of any domestic manufacturer on a Federal contract set-aside for small businesses or awarded through the SBA 8(a) Program.
