SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD, GSA, and NASA published an 

interim rule at 89 FR 13950 on February 

23, 2024, to implement regulatory 

changes made by the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) in its final rules 

published on November 29, 2022, at 87 

FR 73400 and at 88 FR 42592 on July 

3, 2023, to implement section 862 of the 

William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 (Pub. L. 116–283; 

15 U.S.C. 657f). This final rule also 

partially implements section 863 of the 

NDAA for FY 2022 (Pub. L. 117–81; 15 

U.S.C. 634(i)), as implemented by SBA 

in its final rule published on April 27, 

2023, at 88 FR 26164. For further details 

please see the interim rule. Three 

respondents submitted comments on the 

interim rule. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

The Civilian Agency Acquisition 

Council and the Defense Acquisition 

Regulations Council (the Councils) 

reviewed the public comments in the 

development of the final rule. A 

discussion of the comments and the 

changes made to the rule as a result of 

those comments are provided as 

follows: 

A. Summary of Significant Changes 

There are no significant changes from 

the interim rule. 

B. Analysis of Public Comments 

1. Exceptions to Implementation 

Comment: One respondent 

recommended the grace period for 

certification be extended to allow 

businesses additional time to comply 

with the new requirements. 

Response: This rule implements 

section 862 of the NDAA for FY 2021. 

Section 862 provides for a one-year 

grace period after the transfer date of 

January 1, 2023, for service-disabled 

veteran-owned small businesses 

(SDVOSBs) to submit an application for 

certification to SBA. 

Therefore, since the grace period is 

statutory, it cannot be extended by the 

Councils. 

Comment: One respondent 

recommended that SBA expand its 

outreach and support services to ensure 

that all interested businesses are able to 

successfully navigate the certification 

process. 

Response: To implement SDVOSB 

certification, SBA established a website 

at https://veterans.certify.sba.gov. This 

website streamlines and facilitates the 

SDVOSB certification process and 

provides links for SDVOSBs to obtain 

assistance, including both online and 

telephonic support. 

2. Outside the Scope of the Rule. 

Comment: One respondent submitted 

a comment that is unrelated to this case. 

Response: This comment is outside of 

the scope of this rule. 

Comment: One respondent took 

exception to the certification 

requirements for SDVOSBs and took 

exception to the three-year certification 

period for SDVOSBs, indicating that it 

is too long and may result in fraud. 

Response: This rule implements 

regulatory changes made by the SBA in 

its final rules published on November 

29, 2022, at 87 FR 73400 and at 88 FR 

42592 on July 3, 2023. SBA regulations 

regarding the Veteran Small Business 

Certification Program, including 

SDVOSB certification requirements, are 

addressed at 13 CFR part 128. SBA’s 

regulations regarding recertification 

requirements are implemented at 13 

CFR 128.306. This rule simply 

implements SBA’s regulations; 

therefore, this comment is outside the 

scope of this rule. 

III. Applicability to Contracts at or 

Below the Simplified Acquisition 

Threshold (SAT), for Commercial 

Products (Including Commercially 

Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items), 

or for Commercial Services 

This rule amends the following 

provisions and clauses at FAR: 52.212– 

3, Offeror Representations and 

Certifications—Commercial Products 

and Commercial Services; 52.212–5, 

Contract Terms and Conditions 

Required To Implement Statutes or 

Executive Orders—Commercial

Subcontracts for Commercial Products 

and Commercial Services. These 

provisions and clauses continue to 

apply to acquisitions at or below the 

SAT and to acquisitions for commercial 

products, including COTS items, and 

commercial services. 

This rule applies section 862 of the 

NDAA for FY 2021 and section 863 of 

the NDAA for FY 2022, as implemented 

by this rule, to contracts at or below the 

SAT and to commercial services and 

commercial products, including COTS 

items. 

A. Applicability to Contracts at or Below 

the Simplified Acquisition Threshold 

41 U.S.C. 1905 governs the 

applicability of laws to acquisitions at 

or below the SAT. Section 1905 

generally limits the applicability of new 

laws when agencies are making 

acquisitions at or below the SAT, but 

provides that such acquisitions will not 

be exempt from a provision of law 

under certain circumstances, including 

when the Federal Acquisition 

Regulatory Council (FAR Council) 

makes a written determination and 

finding that it would not be in the best 

interest of the Federal Government to 

exempt contracts and subcontracts in 

amounts not greater than the SAT from 

the provision of law. The FAR Council 

has made a determination to apply this 

statute to acquisitions at or below the 

SAT. 

B. Applicability to Contracts for the 

Acquisition of Commercial Products 

and Commercial Services, Including 

Commercially Available Off-the-Shelf 

(COTS) Items 

41 U.S.C. 1906 governs the 

applicability of laws to contracts for the 

acquisition of commercial products and 

commercial services, and is intended to 

limit the applicability of laws to 

contracts for the acquisition of 

commercial products and commercial 

services. Section 1906 provides that if 

the FAR Council makes a written 

determination that it is not in the best 

interest of the Federal Government to 

exempt commercial contracts, the 

provision of law will apply to contracts 

for the acquisition of commercial 

products and commercial services. 

41 U.S.C. 1907 states that acquisitions 

of COTS items will be exempt from 

certain provisions of law unless the 

Administrator for Federal Procurement 

Policy makes a written determination 

and finds that it would not be in the best 

interest of the Federal Government to 

exempt contracts for the procurement of 

COTS items. 

The FAR Council has made a 

determination to apply this statute to 

acquisitions for commercial products 

and commercial services. The 

Administrator for Federal Procurement 

Policy has made a determination to 

apply this statute to acquisitions for 

COTS items. 

IV. Expected Impact of the Rule 

This rule is expected to impact 

Government and contractor operations. 

As of January 1, 2024, contracting 

officers are required to check the System 

for Award Management (SAM) to verify 

that a concern is designated as an 

SDVOSB certified by SBA for solesource or set-aside awards under the 

SDVOSB Program. If the concern is not 

designated in SAM as a certified 

SDVOSB, the contracting officer will be 

required to check SBA’s Veteran Small 

Business Certification Program database 

to determine if the concern submitted 

an application for certification to SBA 

on or before December 31, 2023. If a 

concern submitted an application for 

certification to SBA on or before 

December 31, 2023, and represented its 

status as an SDVOSB concern in SAM, 

contracting officers may rely on a 

concern’s representation in SAM. 

As of January 1, 2024, a small 

business concern that pursues a solesource or set-aside award under the 

SDVOSB Program is required to be 

certified by SBA, or the concern must 

have both submitted a complete 

application for certification to SBA on 

or before December 31, 2023, and 

represented its status as an SDVOSB 

concern in SAM. A small business 

concern that submitted a complete 

application for certification to SBA on 

or before December 31, 2023, may 

continue to represent its status as an 

SDVOSB in SAM until SBA makes its 

final eligibility determination. This rule 

will not impact previous participants in 

the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

VIP Verification Program as the 

requirements for the new SBA 

certification program are nearly 

identical to those of the VA. The only 

change that will impact small 

businesses is the certification 

requirement for SDVOSB concerns. As 

indicated in SBA’s final rule, SBA does 

not anticipate the requirement for SBA 

certification to significantly impact 

small business concerns seeking 

SDVOSB certification. To minimize the 

potential impact on small businesses, 

SDVOSB concerns previously certified 

by the VA are reflected as certified in 

the SBA Veteran Small Business 

Certification Program database during 

the time that remains in the firm’s threeyear term of eligibility. To facilitate the 

transition of those firms already verified 

by the VA prior to the transfer date that 

have an eligibility period that expires in 

the first year of the Program, SBA 

extended the eligibility of those verified 

firms for an additional period of one 

year. The one-year grace period allows 

concerns that are not yet certified by the 

SBA to continue to represent their status 

as an SDVOSB in SAM while preparing 

their applications for SDVOSB 

certification. Furthermore, SBA did not 

change the documentation requirements 

for certification. Additionally, firms that 

represent their status in SAM likely 

have the documentation necessary for 

certification as that documentation is 

necessary to be able to represent their 

status as an SDVOSB in SAM. 

Therefore, concerns will only have to 

enter the information already in hand to 

apply to be included in SBA’s Veteran 

Small Business Certification Program 

database. 

The public cost associated with 

obtaining SDVOSB certification is 

accounted for under SBA’s final rule 

implementing the certification 

requirements (87 FR 73400). SBA’s final 

rule advises concerns that effective 

January 1, 2024, only a certified 

SDVOSB or a concern that has 

submitted a complete application for 

certification to SBA on or before 

December 31, 2023, may seek a set-aside 

or sole-source award under the SDVOSB 

Program. SBA estimates it will take a 

concern approximately one hour to 

complete the application process. 

Small business concerns are also 

required to update SAM within two 

days of an SBA determination of 

ineligibility. Small business concerns 

are already required to update 

representations in SAM at least 

annually and ensure that 

representations are current, accurate, 

and complete. SBA’s final rule 

published on April 27, 2023, at 88 FR 

26164, advised small business concerns 

of the requirement to remove their 

designation from SAM within two days 

of an SBA decision regarding 

ineligibility. 

Given SBA’s notice to small business 

concerns, the cost to the public 

associated with the FAR 

implementation of SBA’s final rules is 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES4
101830 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 241 / Monday, December 16, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

de minimis and is limited to the cost of 

regulatory familiarization. 

V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 (as 

amended by E.O. 14094) and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, was not 

subject to review under section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. 

VI. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act, DoD, GSA, and NASA will send 

this rule to each House of the Congress 

and to the Comptroller General of the 

United States. The Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the 

Office of Management and Budget has 

determined that this rule does not meet 

the definition in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

VII. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD, GSA, and NASA have prepared 

a Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

(FRFA) consistent with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612. The 

FRFA is summarized as follows: 

DoD, GSA, and NASA are adopting, 

without change, an interim rule published on 

February 23, 2024 (89 FR 13950), that 

amended the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) to implement regulatory changes made 

by the Small Business Administration (SBA) 

in its final rules published on November 29, 

2022, at 87 FR 73400, and on July 3, 2023, 

at 88 FR 42592, to implement section 862 of 

the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 

Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2021 (Pub. L. 116–283; 15 U.S.C. 

657f) and to partially implement section 863 

of the NDAA for FY 2022 (Pub. L. 117–81; 

15 U.S.C. 634(i)), as implemented by SBA in 

its final rule published April 27, 2023, at 88 

FR 26164. 

The objective of this rule is to finalize the 

FAR implementation of SBA’s 

Governmentwide certification program for 

SDVOSB concerns, update SDVOSB protest 

procedures, and to require an SDVOSB 

concern determined ineligible by SBA to 

update its status in the System for Award 

Management (SAM) within two days of the 

eligibility determination. 

There were no significant issues raised by 

the public comments in response to the 

initial regulatory flexibility analysis. 

This rule impacts small business concerns 

that seek a sole-source or set-aside award 

under the SDVOSB Program. Effective 

January 1, 2024, an SDVOSB concern must be 

certified as an SDVOSB concern by SBA, or 

have both represented that it is an SDVOSB 

concern in SAM and submitted a complete 

application for certification to SBA on or 

before December 31, 2023, in order to be 

eligible for these types of awards. SBA has 

minimized the impact on SDVOSB concerns 

by accepting verifications of eligibility 

already determined by the Department of 

Veterans Affairs (VA). SBA granted a oneyear extension on certification for VA 

verified firms and by providing firms that 

represent their status in SAM a one-year 

grace period to apply for certification. In 

addition, this rule impacts SDVOSB concerns 

that SBA determines are not eligible for 

SDVOSB certification, as these concerns will 

be ineligible for set-aside and sole-source 

awards under the SDVOSB Program. A 

concern determined ineligible for SDVOSB 

certification, however, may continue to 

represent its SDVOSB status in SAM and be 

eligible for set-aside and sole-source awards 

outside of the SDVOSB Program. 

The cost to concerns seeking SDVOSB 

certification should be de minimis because 

the eligibility documentation requirements 

currently exist under the VA’s VIP 

Verification Program. In addition, the initial 

application, program examination, and 

recertification requirement will remain the 

same under SBA’s management of the 

program. Firms likely have the 

documentation required for application, 

examination, and recertification through the 

transferred program because either such 

documentation was already required for 

certification through the VA’s VIP 

Verification Program, or such documentation 

is likely needed for a firm to represent its 

status as an SDVOSB in SAM. Further, SBA 

anticipates that the application process 

should only require one hour of the concern’s 

time. The cost to concerns to update their 

status in SAM is de minimis as concerns are 

already responsible for maintaining their 

representations in SAM to ensure that they 

are current, accurate, and complete. 

According to SAM, there are 32,284 

concerns registered as SDVOSBs. Of the 

32,284 SDVOSB concerns registered in SAM, 

10,635 are already verified SDVOSBs in VA’s 

verification program, which leaves 21,649 

SDVOSB concerns that represent their 

socioeconomic status in SAM. Of the 21,649 

that represent their socioeconomic status as 

an SDVOSB in SAM, 181 are veteran-owned 

small business concerns that are SDVOSB 

certified in the VA’s certification database. 

Therefore, there are 21,468 SDVOSBs that 

represent their status in SAM that are not 

currently in the VA’s verification program 

and that may submit an application for 

certification to SBA. However, the number of 

SDVOSB concerns that will submit 

applications for certification is unknown as 

is the number of potential new SDVOSB 

entrants; therefore, the number of small 

business entities impacted by this rule may 

be greater than or less than the 21,468 

SDVOSBs that currently represent their 

status in SAM. 

As of January 1, 2024, this rule requires 

small business concerns that submit an offer 

for a set-aside or sole-source requirement 

under the SDVOSB Program to either be 

certified by SBA, or have both submitted an 

application for certification to SBA on or 

before December 31, 2023, and represented 

their SDVOSB status in SAM. Concerns 

found ineligible to be a certified SDVOSB by 

SBA must update their status in SAM within 

two days of the eligibility determination. 

SDVOSB protests will be decided by OHA 

instead of SBA’s Director of Government 

Contracting. 

SBA implemented a certification and 

information collection platform that 

replicates the VA’s Center for Verification 

and Evaluation currently approved 

information collection and recordkeeping 

requirements under OMB Control Number 

2900–0675. 

There are no known significant alternative 

approaches to this rule that would 

accomplish the stated objectives of the 

applicable statutes and which would 

minimize any significant economic impact of 

this interim rule on small entities, as the 

economic impact is not anticipated to be 

significant. 

Interested parties may obtain a copy 

of the FRFA from the Regulatory 

Secretariat Division. The Regulatory 

Secretariat Division has submitted a 

copy of the FRFA to the Chief Counsel 

for Advocacy of the Small Business 

Administration. 

VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not contain any 

information collection requirements that 

require the approval of the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501–3521). These changes to the FAR 

do not impose additional information 

collection requirements to the
