67202 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 16, 2004 / Notices 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act, (Act) 

15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), requires that 

recipients of Federal contracts set aside 

for small businesses, service-disabled 

veteran-owned small businesses, SBA’s 

Very Small Business Program or SBA’s 

8(a) Business Development Program 

provide the product of a small business 

manufacturer or processor, if the 

recipient is other than the actual 

manufacturer or processor of the 

product. This requirement is commonly 

referred to as the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule. 

The SBA regulations imposing this 

requirement are found at 13 CFR 

121.406 (b). Section 8(a)(17)(b)(iv) of the 

Act authorizes SBA to waive the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for any ‘‘class of 

products’’ for which there are no small 

business manufacturers or processors 

available to participate in the Federal 

market. 

As implemented in SBA’s regulations 

at 13 CFR 121.1204, in order to be 

considered available to participate in 

the Federal market for a class of 

products, a small business manufacturer 

must have submitted a proposal for a 

contract solicitation or received a 

contract from the Federal government 

within the last 24 months. The SBA 

defines ‘‘class of products’’ based on six 

digit coding systems. The first coding 

system is the Office of Management and 

Budget North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The 

second is the Product and Service Code 

established by the Federal Procurement 

Data System. 

The SBA received a request on June 

29, 2004, to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Other Communications 

Equipment Manufacturing. In response, 

on July 28, 2004, SBA published in the 

Fedral Register a notice of intent to 

waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 

Other Communications Equipment 

Manufacturing. 

SBA explained in the notice that it 

was soliciting comments and sources of 

small business manufacturers of this 

class of products. In response to this 

notice, comments were received from 

interested parties. SBA has determined 

from these sources that there are no 

small business manufacturers of this 

class of products, and is therefore 

granting the wavier of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Other 

Communications Equipment 

Manufacturing, NAICS 334290.

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17).
