(FAC 2005-77)
(a) This part implements the acquisition-related sections of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631, et seq.), applicable sections of the Armed Services Procurement Act (10 U.S.C. 2302, et seq.), 41 U.S.C. 3104; and Executive Order 12138, May 18, 1979. It covers --
(9) The use of veteran-owned small business concerns; and (10) Sole source awards to HUBZone small business and service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns.
“Concern” means any business entity organized for profit (even if its ownership is in the hands of a nonprofit entity) with a place of business located in the United States or its outlying areas and that makes a significant contribution to the U.S. economy through payment of taxes and/or use of American products, material and/or labor, etc. “Concern” includes but is not limited to an individual, partnership, corporation, joint venture, association, or cooperative. For the purpose of making affiliation findings (see 19.101) any business entity, whether organized for profit or not, and any foreign business entity, i.e., any entity located outside the United States and its outlying areas.
“Industry” means all concerns primarily engaged in similar lines of activity, as listed and described in the North American Classification System (NAICS) Manual.
(1) A revenue-based size standard applies to the requirement and the estimated contract value, including options, exceeds one-half the applicable size standard; or (2) An employee-based size standard applies to the requirement and the estimated contract value, including options, exceeds $10 million.
(2) Annual receipts of a concern that has been in business for less than 3 complete fiscal years means its total receipts for the period it has been in business, divided by the number of weeks including fractions of a week that it has been in business, and multiplied by 52. In calculating total receipts, the definitions and adjustments related to a change of accounting method and the completed contract method of paragraph (1) of this section, are applicable.
(a) (1) The SBA establishes small business size standards on an industry-by-industry basis. (See 13 CFR 121). Small business size standards matched to industry NAICS codes are published by the Small Business Administration and are available at http://www.sba.gov/content/table-small-business-size-standards .
(b) Small business size standards are applied by --
(1) Classifying the product or service being acquired in the industry whose definition, as found in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Manual (available at http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html ), best describes the principal nature of the product or service being acquired;
(f) Any concern submitting a bid or offer in its own name, other than on a construction or service contract, that proposes to furnish an end product it did not manufacture (a “nonmanufacturer”), is a small business if it has no more than 500 employees, and --
(1) Except as provided in subparagraphs (f)(4) through (f)(7) of this section, in the case of Government acquisitions set-aside for small businesses, furnishes in the performance of the contract, the product of a small business manufacturer or producer. The end product furnished must be manufactured or produced in the United States or its outlying areas. The term “nonmanufacturer” includes a concern that can, but elects not to, manufacture or produce the end product for the specific acquisition. For size determination purposes, there can be only one manufacturer of the end product being acquired. The manufacturer of the end product being acquired is the concern that, with its own forces, transforms inorganic or organic substances including raw materials and/or miscellaneous parts or components into the end product. However, see the limitations on subcontracting at 52.219-14 that apply to any small business offeror other than a nonmanufacturer for purposes of set-asides and 8(a) awards, 52-219-3 for HUBZone set-asides and HUBZone sole source awards, 52.219-27 for SDVOSB set-asides and SDVOSB sole source awards, 52.219-29 for economically disadvantaged women-owned small business set asides, 52-219-30 for set-asides for women-owned small business concerns eligible under that women-owned small business program.
(4) In the case of acquisitions set aside for small business or awarded under section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, when the acquisition is for a specific product (or a product in a class of products) for which the SBA has determined that there are no small business manufacturers or processors in the Federal market, then the SBA may grant a class waiver so that a nonmanufacturer does not have to furnish the product of a small business. For the most current listing of classes for which SBA has granted a waiver, contact an SBA Office of Government Contracting. A listing is also available on SBA’s Internet Homepage at http://www.sba.gov/content/class-waivers . Contracting officers may request that the SBA waive the nonmanufacturer rule for a particular class of products. For procedures in requesting a waiver see 13 CFR 121.1204.
(6) Requests for waivers shall be sent to the --
(B) Is not anticipated to exceed $25,000, and
(4) Be responsible for the agency carrying out the functions and duties in sections 8, 15, and 31 of the Small Business Act;
(ii) Facilitate small business participation as contractors including small business contract teams, where appropriate; and (iii) Facilitate small business participation as subcontractors and suppliers where participation by small business concerns as contractors is unlikely;
(7) Have supervisory authority over agency personnel to the extent that their functions and duties relate to sections 8, 15, and 31 of the Small Business Act;
(8) Assign a small business technical advisor to each contracting activity within the agency to which the SBA has assigned a representative (see 19.402) --
(ii) Whose principal duty is to assist the SBA’s assigned representative in performing functions and duties relating to sections 8, 15 and 31 of the Small Business Act;
(ii) Adequacy of contract bundling documentation and justifications; and (iii) Actions taken to mitigate the effects of necessary and justified contract bundling on small businesses.
In order to further the policy in 19.201(a), contracting officers shall comply with the specific policies listed in this section and shall consider recommendations of the agency Director of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, or the Director’s designee, as to whether a particular acquisition should be awarded under subpart 19.5, 19.8, 19.13, 19.14 or 19.15. Agencies shall establish procedures including dollar thresholds for review of acquisitions by the Director or the Director’s designee for the purpose of making these recommendations. The contracting officer shall document the contract file whenever the Director’s recommendations are not accepted.
(1) Provide a copy of the proposed acquisition package to the SBA procurement center representative (or, if a procurement center representative is not assigned, see 19.402(a)) at least 30 days prior to the issuance of the solicitation if --
(2) The contracting officer also must provide a statement explaining why the --
(b) Accurately measure the extent of participation by small business, veteran-owned small business, service-owned veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small businesses concerns in Government acquisitions in terms of the total value of contracts placed during each fiscal year, and report data to the SBA at the end of each fiscal year (see Subpart 4.6).
(c) When the contract includes the clause at 52.219-28, Post Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation, and the conditions in the clause are met—
(b) At or below the simplified acquisition threshold. For acquisitions of supplies or services that have an anticipated dollar va
