SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Small Business Size Standards: 

Waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Warehouse 

Instantly Adjustable Racking Systems. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is considering 

granting a class waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Warehouse 

Instantly Adjustable Racking Systems. 

On October 2, 2014, SBA received a 

request that a class waiver be granted for 

Warehouse Instantly Adjustable Racking 

Systems under the North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

code 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated 

Metal Product Manufacturing), Product 

Service Code (PSC) 5450 (Miscellaneous 

Prefabricated Structures). According to 

the request, no small business 

manufacturers supply this class of 

products to the Federal government. 

Thus, SBA is seeking information on 

whether there are small business 

warehouse instantly adjustable racking 

systems manufacturers. If granted, the 

waiver would allow otherwise qualified 

small businesses to supply the products 

of any manufacturer on a Federal 

contract set aside for small businesses, 

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned 

(SDVO) small businesses, WomenOwned small businesses (WOSB), 

Economically Disadvantaged WomenOwned small businesses (EDWOSB), or 

Participants in the SBA’s 8(a) Business 

Development (BD) program. 

DATES: Comments and source 

information must be submitted February 

17, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

and source information to Amy Garcia, 

Procurement Analyst, Small Business 

Administration, Office of Government 

Contracting, 409 3rd Street SW., Suite 

8800, Washington, DC 20416; or by way 

of email to the Nonmanufacturer Rule 

Waiver program office at 

NonMfgRuleWaiverReqsts@sba.gov. 

Email communications should contain

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

8(a)(17) and 46 of the Small Business 

Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17) and 657s, 

and SBA’s implementing regulations 

require that recipients of Federal supply 

contracts set aside for small businesses, 

SDVO small businesses, WOSBs, 

EDWOSBs, or Participants in the SBA’s 

8(a) BD 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. 13 CFR 

121.406(b), 125.15(c). 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 is currently processing a 

request to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Warehouse Instantly Adjustable 

Racking Systems under the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) code 332999 

(Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal 

Product Manufacturing), Product 

Service Code (PSC) 5450 (Miscellaneous 

Prefabricated Structures). The public is 

invited to comment or provide source 

information to SBA on the proposed 

waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 

the product within 15 days after date of 

publication in the Federal Register and 

on FedBizOpps.gov. More information 

about the Nonmanufacturer Rule and 

Class Waivers may be found on SBA’s
