SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 

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, 

found at 13 CFR 121.406(b), require that 

recipients of Federal supply contracts 

provide the product of a small business 

manufacturer or processor if the 

recipient of the set-aside contract is not 

the actual manufacturer or processor of 

the product. This requirement is 

commonly referred to as the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule (NMR). 13 CFR 

121.406(b). The NMR applies to a 

contract issued as a small business setaside (except as stated below); a servicedisabled veteran-owned small business 

(SDVOSB) set-aside or sole-source 

contract; a Historically Underutilized 

Business Zone (HUBZone) set-aside or 

sole source contract; a women-owned 

small business (WOSB) or economically 

disadvantaged women-owned small 

business (EDWOSB) set-aside or sole 

source contract; or 8(a) set-aside or sole 

source contract; a partial set-aside; or a 

set-aside of an order against a multiple 

award contract. The NMR does not 

apply to small business set-aside 

acquisitions with an estimated value 

between the micro-purchase threshold 

and the simplified acquisition 

threshold. 

Sections 8(a)(17)(B)(iv)(II) and 

46(a)(4)(B) of the Act authorize SBA to 

waive the NMR for a ‘‘class of products’’ 

for which there are no small business 

manufacturers or processors available to 

participate in the Federal market. The 

SBA identifies a ‘‘class of products’’ 

based on a combination of the six-digit 

NAICS code and a description of the 

class of products. A waiver would not 

have any effect on the requirements in 

13 CFR 121.406(b) or on requirements 

external to the Act that involve 

domestic sources of supply, such as the 

Buy American Act, 41 U.S.C. 8301– 

8305, or the Trade Agreements Act, 19 

U.S.C. 2501 et. seq. 

As implemented in SBA’s regulations 

at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), 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 been awarded a 

contract to supply the class of products 

within the last 24 months. 

SBA has received a request for a class 

waiver for dental supplies and 

equipment. Specifically, the waiver 

would apply to dental chairs, dental 

delivery systems, dental lights, dental 

cabinets, dental stools, dental 

handpieces, dental infection control 

apparatus, dental air management 

systems, and mechanical room 

equipment under North American 

Industry Classification (NAICS) code 

339114. If granted, the class waiver 

would allow otherwise qualified regular 

dealers to supply the waived item on 

certain small business contracts, 

regardless of the business size of the 

manufacturer. The applicable NAICS 

Code is 339114 because there are no 

small businesses that manufacturer this 

product. A search of the Federal 

marketplace revealed there are no small 

business manufacturers that can 

manufacture and supply this product to 

the Federal government. 

SBA invites the public to comment on 

this pending request to waive the NMR 

for dental equipment and supplies. The 

public may comment or provide source 

information on any small business 

manufacturers of this class of products 

that are available to participate in the 

Federal market. The public comment 

period will run for 30 days after the date 

of publication in the Federal Register. 

More information on the NMR and 

class waivers can be found at 

Nonmanufacturer rule (sba.gov).
