### SECTION 1 DEFINITIONS.

\"Concern\" means any business entity organized for profit (even if its
ownership is in the hands of a nonprofit entity) with a place of
business located in the United States and which makes a significant
contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes and/or use of
American products, material and/or labor, etc. \"Concern\" includes but
is not limited to an individual, partnership, corporation, joint
venture, association, or cooperative. For the purpose of making
affiliation findings (see Section 2) any business entity, whether
organized for profit or not, and any foreign business entity, i.e., any
entity located outside the United States, shall be included.

\"Handicapped individual\" means a person who has a physical, mental, or
emotional impairment, defect, ailment, disease, or disability of a
permanent nature which in any way limits the selection of any type of
employment for which the person would otherwise be qualified or
qualifiable.

\"Industry\" means all concerns primarily engaged in similar lines of
activity, as listed and described in the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Manual.

\"Public or private organization for the handicapped\" means one which
(a) is organized under the laws of the United States or of any State,
operated in the interest of handicapped individuals, the net income of
which does not inure in whole or in part to the benefit of any
shareholder or other individual; (b) complies with any applicable
occupational health and safety standard prescribed by the Secretary of
Labor; and (c) employs in the production of commodities and in the
provision of services, handicapped individuals for not less than 75
percent of the direct labor required for the production or provision of
the commodities or services.

\"Small business concern\" means a concern, including its affiliates,
that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of
operation in which it is competing for contracts, and qualified as a
small business under the criteria and size standards in 13 CFR Part 121
(see Section 3). Such a concern is \"not dominant in its field of
operation\" when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence
on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of
business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether
dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate
factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial
resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of
materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales
territory, and nature of business activity.

\"Small disadvantaged business concern\" means a small business concern
that is at least 51 percent unconditionally owned by one or more
individuals who are both socially and economically disadvantaged, or a
publicly owned business that has at least 51 percent of its stock
unconditionally owned by one or more socially and economically
disadvantaged individuals and that has its management and daily business
controlled by one or more such individuals. This term also means a small
business concern that is at least 51 percent unconditionally owned by an
economically disadvantaged Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian Organization,
or a publicly owned business that has at least 51 percent of its stock
unconditionally owned by one of these entities, that has its management
and daily business controlled by members of an economically
disadvantaged Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian Organization, and that
meets the requirements of 13 CFR part 124.

\(a\) \"Socially disadvantaged individuals\" means individuals who have
been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of
their identity as a member of a group without regard to their qualities
as individuals.

\(b\) \"Economically disadvantaged individuals\" means socially
disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free
enterprise system is impaired due to diminished opportunities to obtain
capital and credit as compared to others in the same line of business
who are not socially disadvantaged. Individuals who certify that they
are members of named groups (Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native
Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Subcontinent-Asian Americans) are to
be considered socially and economically disadvantaged.

\(1\) \"Subcontinent-Asian Americans\" means United States citizens
whose origins are in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, or
Nepal.

\(2\) \"Asian-Pacific Americans\" means United States citizens whose
origins are in Japan, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Samoa,
Guam, the U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (Republic of
Palau), the Northern Mariana Islands, Laos, Kampuchea (Cambodia),
Taiwan, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei,
Republic of the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia.

\(3\) \"Native Americans\" means American Indians, Eskimos, Aleuts, and
native Hawaiians.

\(c\) \"Native Hawaiian Organization\" means any community service
organization serving Native Hawaiians in, and chartered as a
not-for-profit organization by, the State of Hawaii, which is controlled
by Native Hawaiians, and whose business activities will principally
benefit such Native Hawaiians.

\(d\) \"Indian tribe\" means any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other
organized group or community of Indians, including any Alaska Native
Corporation as defined in 13 CFR 124.100 which is recognized as eligible
for the special programs and services provided by the U.S. to Indians
because of their status as Indians, or which is recognized as such by
the State in which such tribe, band, nation, group or community resides.

\"Women-owned business\" means small businesses that are at least 51
percent owned by a woman or women who are U.S. citizens and who also
control and operate the business.

### SECTION 2 TERMS

\"Affiliates.\" Business concerns are affiliates of each other if,
directly or indirectly, either one controls or has the power to control
the other or another concern controls or has the power to control the
other, or another concern controls or has the power to control both. In
determining whether affiliation exists, consideration is given to all
appropriate factors including common ownership, common management, and
contractual relationships; provided that restraints imposed by a
franchise agreement are not considered in determining whether the
franchisor controls or has the power to control the franchisee, if the
franchisee has the right to profit from its effort, commensurate with
ownership, and bears the risk of loss or failure. Any business entity
may be found to be an affiliate, whether or not it is organized for
profit or located in the United States.

\(a\) Nature of Control. Every business concern is considered as having
one or more parties who directly or indirectly control or have the power
to control it. Control may be affirmative or negative and it is
immaterial whether it is exercised so long as the power to control
exists.

\(b\) \"Party or parties.\" The term \"party or parties\" includes, but
is not limited to, two or more persons with an identity of interest such
as members of the same family or persons with common investments in more
than one concern. In determining who controls or has the power to
control a concern, persons with an identity of interest may be treated
as though they were one person.

\(c\) Control through stock ownership.

\(1\) A party is considered to control or have the power to control a
concern if the party controls or has the power to control 50 percent or
more of the concern\'s voting stock.

\(2\) A party is considered to control or have the power to control a
concern, even though the party owns, controls, or has the power to
control less than 50 percent of the concern\'s voting stock, if the
block of stock the party owns, controls or has the power to control is
large, as compared with any other outstanding block of stock. If two or
more parties each own, control, or have the power to control, less than
50 percent of the voting stock of a concern, and such minority block is
equal or substantially equal in size, and large as compared with any
other block outstanding, there is a presumption that each such party
controls or has the power to control such concern; however, such
presumption may be rebutted by a showing that such control or power to
control, in fact, does not exist.

\(3\) If a concern\'s voting stock is distributed other than as
described above, its management (officers and directors) is deemed to be
in control of such concern.

\(d\) Stock options and convertible debentures. Stock options and
convertible debentures exercisable at the time or within a relatively
short time after a size determination and agreements to merge in the
future, are considered as having a present effect on the power to
control the concern. Therefore, in making a size determination, such
options, debentures, and agreements are treated as though the rights
held thereunder had been exercised.

\(e\) Voting trusts. If the purpose of a voting trust, or similar
agreement, is to separate voting power from beneficial ownership of
voting stock for the purpose of shifting control of or the power to
control a concern in order that such concern or another concern may
qualify as a small business within the size regulations, such voting
trust shall not be considered valid for this purpose regardless of
whether it is or is not valid within the appropriate jurisdiction.
However, if a voting trust is entered into for a legitimate purpose
other than that described above, and it is valid within the appropriate
jurisdiction, it may be considered valid for the purpose of a size
determination, provided such consideration is determined to be in the
best interest of the small business program.

\(f\) Control through common management. A concern may be found as
controlling or having the power to control another concern when one or
more of the following circumstances are found to exist, and it is
reasonable to conclude that under the circumstances, such concern is
directing or influencing, or has the power to direct or influence, the
operation of such other concern.

\(1\) Interlocking management. Officers, directors, employees, or
principal stockholders of one concern serve as a working majority of the
board of directors or officers of another concern.

\(2\) Common facilities. One concern shares common office space and/or
employees and/or other facilities with another concern, particularly
where such concerns are in the same or related industry or field of
operation, or where such concerns were formerly affiliated.

\(3\) Newly organized concern. Former officers, directors, principal
stockholders, and/or key employees of one concern organize a new concern
in the same or a related industry or field operation, and serve as its
officers, directors, principal stockholders, and/or key employees, and
one concern is furnishing or will furnish the other concern with
subcontracts, financial or technical assistance and/or facilities,
whether for a fee or otherwise.

\(g\) Control through contractual relationships.

\(1\) Definition of a joint venture for size determination purposes. A
joint venture for size determination purposes is an association of
persons and/or concerns with interests in any degree or proportion by
way of contract, express or implied, consorting to engage in and carry
out a single specific business venture for joint profit, for which
purpose they combine their efforts, property, money, skill, or
knowledge, but not on a continuing or permanent basis for conducting
business generally. A joint venture is viewed as a business entity in
determining power to control its management.

\(2\) Joint venture - procurement and property sale assistance. Concerns
bidding on a particular procurement or property sale as joint ventures
are considered as affiliated and controlling or having the power to
control each other with regard to performance of the contract. Moreover
an ostensible subcontractor which is to perform primary or vital
requirements of a contract may have a controlling role such to be
considered a joint venturer affiliated on the contract with the prime
contractor. A joint venture affiliation finding is limited to particular
contracts unless the SBA size determination finds general affiliation
between the parties.

\(3\) Where a concern is not considered as being an affiliate of a
concern with which it is participating in a joint venture, it is
necessary, nevertheless, in computing annual receipts, etc., for the
purpose of applying size standards, to include such concern\'s share of
the joint venture receipts (as distinguished from its share of the
profits of such venture).

\(4\) Franchise and license agreements. If a concern operates or is to
operate under a franchise (or a license) agreement, the following policy
is applicable: In determining

whether the franchisor controls or has the power to control and,
therefore, is affiliated with the franchisee, the restraints imposed on
a franchisee by its franchise agreement shall not be considered,
provided that the franchisee has the right to profit from its effort and
the risk of loss or failure, commensurate with ownership. Even though a
franchisee may not be controlled by the franchisor by virtue of the
contractual relationship between them, the franchisee may be controlled
by the franchisor or other through common ownership or common
management, in which case they would be considered as affiliated.

\"Annual receipts.\" (a) Annual receipts of a concern which has been in
business for 3 or more complete fiscal years means the annual average
gross revenue of the concern taken for the last 3 fiscal years. For the
purpose of this definition, gross revenue of the concern includes
revenues from sales of products and services, interest, rents, fees,
commissions and/or whatever other sources derived, but less returns and
allowances, sales of fixed assets, interaffiliate transactions between a
concern and its domestic and foreign affiliates, and taxes collected for
remittance (and, if due, remitted) to a third party. Such revenues shall
be measured as entered on the regular books of account of the concern
whether on a cash, accrual, or other basis of accounting acceptable to
the U. S. Treasury Department for the purpose of supporting Federal
income tax returns, except when a change in accounting method from cash
to accrual or accrual to cash has taken place during such 3-year period,
or when the completed contract method has been used.

\(1\) In any case of change in accounting method from cash to accrual or
accrual to cash, revenues for such 3-year period shall, prior to the
calculation of the annual average, be restated to the accrual method. In
any case, where the completed contract method has been used to account
for revenues in such 3 year period, revenues must be restated on an
accrual basis using the percentage of completion method.

\(2\) In the case of a concern which does not keep regular books of
accounts, but which is subject to U. S. Federal income taxation,
\"annual receipts\" shall be measured as reported, or to be reported to
the U. S. Treasury Department internal Revenue Service, for Federal
income tax purposes, except that any return based on a change in
accounting method or on the completed contract method of accounting must
be restated as provided for in the preceding paragraphs.

\(b\) Annual receipts of a concern that has been in business for less
than 3 complete fiscal years means its total receipts for the period it
has been in business, divided by the number of weeks including fractions
of a week that it has been in business, and multiplied by 52. In
calculating total receipts, the definitions and adjustments related to a
change of accounting method and the completed contract method of
paragraph (a) above are applicable.

\"Number of Employees.\" The number of employees is a measure of the
average employment of a business concern and means its average
employment, including the employees of its domestic and foreign
affiliates, based on the number of persons employed on a full-time,
part-time, temporary, or other basis during each of the pay periods of
the preceding 12 months. If a business has not been in existence for 12
months, \"number of employees\" means the average employment of such
concern and its affiliates during the period that such concern has been
in existence based on the number of persons employed during each of the
pay periods of the period that such concern has been in business. If a
business has acquired an affiliate during the applicable 12-month
period, it is necessary, in computing the applicant\'s number of
employees, to include the affiliate\'s number of employees during the
entire period, rather than only its employees during the period in which
it has been an affiliate. The employees of a former affiliate are not
included, even if such concern had been an affiliate during a portion of
the period.

### SECTION 3 SIZE STANDARDS

\(a\) The SBA establishes small business size standards on an
industry-by-industry basis. (See l3 CFR 121.)

\(b\) Small business size standards are applied by \--

\(1\) Classifying the product or service being acquired in the industry
whose definition, as found in the Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) Manual, best describes the principal nature of the product or
service being purchased; and

\(2\) Identifying the size standard SBA established for that industry.

\(c\) For size standard purposes, a product or service shall be
classified in only one industry whose definition best describes the
principal nature of the product or service being purchased even though
for other purposes it could be classified in more than one.

\(d\) When purchasing a product or service that could be classified in
two or more industries with different size standards, COs shall apply
the size standard for the industry accounting for the greatest
percentage of the contract price.

\(e\) If a solicitation calls for more than one item and allows offers
to be submitted on any or all of the items, an offeror must meet the
size standard for each item it offers to furnish. If a solicitation
calling for more than one item requires offers on all or none of the
items, an offeror may qualify as a small business by meeting the size
standard for the item accounting for the greatest percentage of the
total contract price.

\(f\) Any concern which submits a bid or offer in its own name, other
than on a construction or service contract, but which proposes to
furnish a product which it did not itself manufacture, is deemed to be a
small business when it has no more than 500 employees, and \--

\(1\) Except as provided in subparagraph (f)(4) of this section such
nonmanufacturer must furnish in the performance of the contract the
product of a small business manufacturer or producer, which end product
must be manufactured or produced in the United States. The term
\"nonmanufacturer\" includes a concern which can manufacture or produce
the product referred to in the specific purchase but does not do so in
connection with that purchase. For size determination purposes there can
be only one manufacturer of the end item being purchased. The
manufacturer of the end item being purchased is the concern which, with
its own forces, transforms inorganic or organic substances including raw
materials and/or miscellaneous parts or components into such end item.
Whether a offeror on a particular purchase is the manufacturer or a
nonmanufacturer for the purpose of a size determination need not be
consistent with whether such concern is or is not a manufacturer for the
purpose of the Walsh-Healey Act.

\(2\) A concern which purchases items and packages them into a kit is
considered to be a nonmanufacturer small business and can qualify as
such for a given purchase if it meets the size qualifications of a small
nonmanufacturer for the purchase, and if more than 50 percent of the
total value of the kit and its contents is accounted for by items
manufactured by small business.

\(3\) If the purchase is \$50,000 or less, such nonmanufacturer may
furnish any domestically produced or manufactured product.

\(4\) As provided in 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), in the case of Government
purchases awarded under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, such
nonmanufacturer may furnish any domestically produced or manufactured
product when the purchase is for a product in a class for which the
Small Business Administration has determined that there are no small
business manufacturers or processors in the Federal market, and when
such nonmanufacturer is primarily engaged in the wholesale or retail
trade and is a regular dealer, as defined pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 35(a),
in the product to be offered unless specifically exempted from section
35(a) by section 7(j)(13)(C) of the Small Business Act. Classes for
which a waiver has been granted are available from the SBA's Internet
homepage at http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/GC/nonmanuf.html.

\(g\) The industry size standards are set forth in the following table.
The table column labeled \"SIC\" or \"Classification Code\" follows the
standard industrial classification code as published in the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual. The Manual is intended to cover the
entire field of economic activities. It classifies and defines
activities by industry categories and is the source used by SBA as a
guide in defining industries for size standards. The number of employees
or annual receipts indicates the maximum allowed for a concern,
including its affiliates, to be considered small.

The following table is presented here for convenience. In the event of a
discrepancy between the table and 13 CFR 121, the CFR material will
prevail. Further information may be obtained either from the BPA Small
Business Specialist or on SBA's Internet homepage at http://www.sba.gov/
regulations/121b.html.

FOOTNOTES

2 SIC-1629: To be considered small, a firm must perform the dredging of
at least 40 percent of the yardage with its own dredging equipment or
equipment owned by another small dredging concern.

3 SIC Division D - Manufacturing: \"Rebuilding on a factory basis or
equivalent.\" For rebuilding machinery or equipment on a factory basis,
use SIC code applicable for new manufactured product. The appropriate
size standard is not limited to manufacturers. Ordinary repair services
or preservation operations, however, are not considered rebuilding
activities.

7 SIC-4212: The component \"Garbage and Refuse, Collecting and
Transporting, Without Disposal\" shall have a size standard of \$6.0
million. This is the same size standard as SIC-4953, Refuse Systems.

8 Offshore Marine Services (Major Groups 44): The applicable size
standard shall be \$20.5 million for firms furnishing specific
transportation services to concerns engaged in offshore oil and/or
natural gas exploration, drilling production or marine research; such
services encompass passenger and freight transportation, anchor
handling, and related logistical services to and from the work site or
at sea.

9 SIC-4512, 4513, and 4522: Includes passenger or cargo transportation
requiring the use of one or more helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft.

16 Division J \-- Services: For all industries not specifically listed
in this division, the size standard is \$5.0 million.

17 SIC 3728, 7699: Contracts for this rebuilding or overhaul of aircraft
ground support equipment on a contract basis will be classified under
SIC-3728.

18 SIC-8731: For research and development contracts requiring the
delivery of a manufactured product, the appropriate size standard to use
is that of the manufacturing industry in which the specific product is
classified.

Research and development, as defined in the SIC Manual, means laboratory
or other physical research and development on a contract or fee basis.
Research and development for purposes of size determinations does not
include the following: economic, educational, engineering, operations,
systems, or other nonphysical research or computer programming, data
processing, commercial and/or medical laboratory testing.

For purposes of the Small Business Innovation and Research (SBIR)
program, SBA has adopted a different definition. See Part 121.7 of 13
