Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2005 / Notices 61323 

ACTION: Notice of waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for household 

laundry equipment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA) is granting a 

waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for 

Household Laundry Equipment. The 

basis for waivers is that no small 

business manufacturers are supplying 

this class of product to the Federal 

government. The effect of a waiver 

would be to allow otherwise qualified 

regular dealers to supply the products of 

any domestic manufacturer on a Federal 

contract set aside for small businesses; 

service-disabled veteran-owned small 

business or SBA’s 8(a) Business 

Development Program. 

DATES: This waiver is effective 

November 7, 2005.

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, 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 121.1202(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 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 

required as a data entry field by the 

Federal Procurement Data System. 

The SBA received a request on July 

22, 2005 to waive the Nonmanufacturer 

Rule for Household Laundry 

Equipment. In response, on August 25, 

2005, SBA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of intent to waive the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household 

Laundry Equipment. 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, no comments 

were received from interested parties. 

SBA has determined that there are no 

small business manufacturers of this 

class of products, and is therefore 

granting the waiver of the 

Nonmanufacturer Rule for Household 

Laundry Equipment, NAICS 335224. 

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

Dated: October 13, 2005.
