SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

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

15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), and SBA’s 

implementing regulations require that 

recipients of Federal supply contracts 

set aside for small businesses, SDVO 

small businesses, Participants in the 

SBA’s 8(a) BD Program, or WOSBs, 

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. 13 CFR 121.406(b), 125.15(c), 

127.505. 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. 

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. 

13 CFR 121.1202(c). The SBA defines 

‘‘class of products’’ based on the Office 

of Management and Budget’s NAICS. 

The SBA received a request on August 

13, 2010, to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for GEN II and GEN III Image 

Intensifier Tubes under Product Service 

Code (PSC) 5855, Night Vision 

Equipment, Emitted and Reflected 

Radiation, under North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code 333314 (Optical Instrument and 

Lens Manufacturing). 

On August 27, 2010, SBA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of intent 

to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 

the above listed item. 75 FR 21427 

(2010). SBA explained in the notice that 

it was soliciting comments and sources 

of small business manufacturers of this 

class of products. In addition, SBA 

conducted market research using the 

Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) 

database and no small business 

manufacturers that participate in the 

Federal market were identified. Lastly, 

on September 16, 2010, SBA posted a 

Sources Sought notice on http:// 

www.fbo.gov that it was soliciting 

comments and sources of small business 

manufacturers of this class of products. 

In response to these notices, SBA 

received comments from fourteen (14) 

sources. One respondent, a large 

business, was identified as a 

manufacturer of GEN III image 

intensifier tubes. Thirteen (13) 

respondents were identified as small 

business suppliers, distributors, or 

integrators of GEN II and/or GEN III 

image intensifier tubes, night vision 

systems and/or related equipment. Of 

these respondents, three (3) sources 

requested that additional related items 

be considered for waiver: PVS–14, PVS– 

17, and AVS–9 night vision systems. 

However, SBA has identified, through 

market research, and as a result of 

findings in this case, that one or more 

small business manufacturers or 

component assemblers exist for PVS–14, 

PVS–17, and AVS–9 night vision 

systems, and, as such, these items do 

not qualify to be waived under the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule. 13 CFR 

121.406(b), 125.15(c), 127.505. One (1) 

respondent claimed to be a small 

business manufacturer of GEN II image 

intensifier tubes. However, upon further 

investigation, the source does not 

qualify as a manufacturer under 13 CFR 

121.406(b). Thus, no small business 

manufacturers of GEN II or GEN III 

image intensifier tubes that participate 

in the Federal market were identified. 

Consequently, SBA has determined 

that there are no small business 

manufacturers of these classes of 

products, and is therefore granting the 

waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 

GEN II and GEN III Image Intensifier 

Tubes under PSC 5855, Night Vision 

Equipment, NAICS code 333314 

(Optical Instrument and Lens 

Manufacturing).
