          Subpart A--Size Eligibility Provisions and Standards
 
                   Provisions of General Applicability
 
Sec. 121.101  What are SBA size standards?
 
    (a) SBA's size standards define whether a business entity is small 
and, thus, eligible for Government programs and preferences reserved for 
``small business'' concerns. Size standards have been established for 
types of economic activity, or industry, generally under the North 
American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
    (b) NAICS is described in the North American Industry Classification 
Manual--United States, 1997 which is available from the National 
Technical Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 
22161; by calling 1(800) 553-6847 or 1(703) 605-6000; or via the 
Internet at http://www.ntis.gov/yellowbk/1nty205.htm. The manual 
includes definitions for each industry, tables showing relationships 
between 1997 NAICS and 1987 SICs, and a comprehensive index. NAICS 
assigns codes to all economic activity within twenty broad sectors. 
Section 121.201 provides a full table of small business size standards 
matched to the U.S. NAICS industry codes. A full table matching a size 
standard with each NAICS Industry or U.S. Industry code is also 
published annually by SBA in the Federal Register.
 
[65 FR 30840, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.102  How does SBA establish size standards?
 
    (a) SBA considers economic characteristics comprising the structure 
of an industry, including degree of competition, average firm size, 
start-up costs and entry barriers, and distribution of firms by size. It 
also considers technological changes, competition from other industries, 
growth trends, historical activity within an industry, unique factors 
occurring in the industry which may distinguish small firms from other 
firms, and the objectives of its programs and the impact on those 
programs of different size standard levels.
    (b) As part of its review of a size standard, SBA will investigate 
if any concern at or below a particular standard would be dominant in 
the industry. SBA will take into consideration market share of a concern 
and other appropriate factors which may allow a concern to exercise a 
major controlling influence on a national basis in which a number of 
business concerns are engaged. Size standards seek to ensure that a 
concern that meets a specific size standard is not dominant in its field 
of operation.
    (c) Please address any requests to change existing size standards or 
establish new ones for emerging industries to the Assistant 
Administrator for Size Standards, Small Business Administration, 409 3rd 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20416.
 
Sec. 121.103  What is affiliation?
 
    (a) General Principles of Affiliation. (1) Concerns are affiliates 
of each other when one concern controls or has the power to control the 
other, or a third party or parties controls or has the power to control 
both.
    (2) SBA considers factors such as ownership, management, previous 
relationships with or ties to another concern, and contractual 
relationships, in determining whether affiliation exists.
    (3) Individuals or firms that have identical or substantially 
identical business or economic interests, such as family members, 
persons with common investments, or firms that are economically 
dependent through contractual or other relationships, may be treated as 
one party with such interests aggregated.
    (4) SBA counts the receipts or employees of the concern whose size 
is at issue and those of all its domestic and foreign affiliates, 
regardless of whether the affiliates are organized for profit, in 
determining the concern's size.
 
[[Page 275]]
 
    (b) Exclusion from affiliation coverage. (1) Business concerns owned 
in whole or substantial part by investment companies licensed, or 
development companies qualifying, under the Small Business Investment 
Act of 1958, as amended, are not considered affiliates of such 
investment companies or development companies.
    (2) Business concerns owned and controlled by Indian Tribes, Alaska 
Regional or Village Corporations organized pursuant to the Alaska Native 
Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601), Native Hawaiian Organizations, 
or Community Development Corporations authorized by 42 U.S.C. 9805 are 
not considered affiliates of such entities, or with other concerns owned 
by these entities solely because of their common ownership.
    (3) Business concerns which are part of an SBA approved pool of 
concerns for a joint program of research and development as authorized 
by the Small Business Act are not affiliates of one another because of 
the pool.
    (4) Business concerns which lease employees from concerns primarily 
engaged in leasing employees to other businesses or which enter into a 
co-employer arrangement with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) 
are not affiliated with the leasing company or PEO solely on the basis 
of a leasing agreement.
    (5) For financial, management or technical assistance under the 
Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, (an applicant is not 
affiliated with the investors listed in paragraphs (b)(5) (i) through 
(vi) of this section.
    (i) Venture capital operating companies, as defined in the U.S. 
Department of Labor regulations found at 29 CFR 2510.3-101(d);
    (ii) Employee benefit or pension plans established and maintained by 
the Federal government or any state, or their political subdivisions, or 
any agency or instrumentality thereof, for the benefit of employees;
    (iii) Employee benefit or pension plans within the meaning of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (29 U.S.C. 
1001, et seq.);
    (iv) Charitable trusts, foundations, endowments, or similar 
organizations exempt from Federal income taxation under section 501(c) 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (26 U.S.C. 501(c));
    (v) Investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act 
of 1940, as amended (1940 Act) (15 U.S.C. 80a-1, et seq.); and
    (vi) Investment companies, as defined under the 1940 Act, which are 
not registered under the 1940 Act because they are beneficially owned by 
less than 100 persons, if the company's sales literature or 
organizational documents indicate that its principal purpose is 
investment in securities rather than the operation of commercial 
enterprises.
    (6) A protege firm is not an affiliate of a mentor firm solely 
because the protege firm receives assistance from the mentor firm under 
Federal Mentor-Protege programs.
    (c) Affiliation based on stock ownership. (1) A person is an 
affiliate of a concern if the person owns or controls, or has the power 
to control 50 percent or more of its voting stock, or a block of stock 
which affords control because it is large compared to other outstanding 
blocks of stock.
    (2) If two or more persons each owns, controls or has the power to 
control less than 50 percent of the voting stock of a concern, with 
minority holdings that are equal or approximately equal in size, but the 
aggregate of these minority holdings is large as compared with any other 
stock holding, each such person is presumed to be an affiliate of the 
concern.
    (d) Affiliation arising under stock options, convertible debentures, 
and agreements to merge. Since stock options, convertible debentures, 
and agreements to merge (including agreements in principle) affect the 
power to control a concern, SBA treats them as though the rights granted 
have been exercised (except that an affiliate cannot use them to appear 
to terminate control over another concern before it actually does so). 
SBA gives present effect to an agreement to merge or sell stock whether 
such agreement is unconditional, conditional, or finalized but 
unexecuted. Agreements to open or continue negotiations towards the 
possibility of a merger or a sale of stock
 
[[Page 276]]
 
at some later date are not considered ``agreements in principle'' and, 
thus, are not given present effect.
    (e) Affiliation based on common management. Affiliation arises where 
one or more officers, directors or general partners controls the board 
of directors and/or the management of another concern.
    (f) Affiliation based on joint venture arrangements. (1) Parties to 
a joint venture are affiliates if any one of them seeks SBA financial 
assistance for use in connection with the joint venture.
    (2) Except as provided in paragraph (f)(3) of this section, concerns 
submitting offers on a particular procurement or property sale as joint 
venturers are affiliated with each other with regard to the performance 
of that contract.
    (3) Exclusion from affiliation. (i) A joint venture or teaming 
arrangement of two or more business concerns may submit an offer as a 
small business for a Federal procurement without regard to affiliation 
under this paragraph (f) so long as each concern is small under the size 
standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract, 
provided:
    (A) The procurement qualifies as a ``bundled'' requirement, at any 
dollar value, within the meaning of Sec. 125.2(d)(1)(i) of this chapter; 
or
    (B) The procurement is other than a ``bundled'' requirement within 
the meaning of Sec. 125.2(d)(1)(i) of this chapter, and:
    (1) For a procurement having a revenue-based size standard, the 
dollar value of the procurement, including options, exceeds half the 
size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the contract; 
or
    (2) For a procurement having an employee-based size standard, the 
dollar value of the procurement, including options, exceeds $10 million.
    (ii) A joint venture or teaming arrangement of at least one 8(a) 
Participant and one or more other business concerns may submit an offer 
for a competitive 8(a) procurement without regard to affiliation under 
paragraph (f) of this section so long as the requirements of 13 CFR 
124.513(b)(1) are met.
    (iii) Two firms approved by SBA to be a mentor and protege under 13 
CFR 124.520 may joint venture as a small business for any Federal 
Government procurement, provided the protege qualifies as small for the 
size standard corresponding to the NAICS code assigned to the 
procurement and, for purposes of 8(a) sole source requirements, has not 
reached the dollar limit set forth in 13 CFR 124.519.
    (4) A contractor and subcontractor are treated as joint venturers if 
the ostensible subcontractor will perform primary and vital requirements 
of a contract or if the prime contractor is unusually reliant upon the 
ostensible subcontractor. All requirements of the contract are 
considered in reviewing such relationship, including contract 
management, technical responsibilities, and the percentage of 
subcontracted work.
    (5) For size purposes, a concern must include in its revenues its 
proportionate share of joint venture receipts.
    (g) Affiliation based on franchise and license agreements. The 
restraints imposed on a franchisee or licensee by its franchise or 
license agreement relating to standardized quality, advertising, 
accounting format and other similar provisions, generally will not be 
considered in determining whether the franchisor or licensor is 
affiliated with the franchisee or licensee provided the franchisee or 
licensee has the right to profit from its efforts and bears the risk of 
loss commensurate with ownership. Affiliation may arise, however, 
through other means, such as common ownership, common management or 
excessive restrictions upon the sale of the franchise interest.

FR 35738, June 30, 1998; 64 FR 57370, Oct. 25, 1999; 65 FR 30840, May 
15, 2000; 65 FR 35812, June 6, 2000; 65 FR 45833, July 26, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.104  How does SBA calculate annual receipts?
 
    (a) Definitions. In determining annual receipts of a concern:
    (1) Receipts means ``total income'' (or in the case of a sole 
proprietorship, ``gross income'') plus ``cost of goods sold'' as these 
terms are defined or reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Federal 
tax return forms; Form 1120 for corporations; Form 1120S for
 
[[Page 277]]
 
Subchapter S corporations; Form 1065 for partnerships; and Form 1040, 
Schedule F for farm or Schedule C for sole proprietorships). However, 
the term receipts excludes net capital gains or losses, taxes collected 
for and remitted to a taxing authority if included in gross or total 
income, proceeds from the transactions between a concern and its 
domestic or foreign affiliates (if also excluded from gross or total 
income on a consolidated return filed with the IRS), and amounts 
collected for another by a travel agent, real estate agent, advertising 
agent, conference management service provider, freight forwarder or 
customs broker.
    (2) Completed fiscal year means a taxable year including any short 
period. Taxable year and short period have the meaning attributed to 
them by the IRS.
    (3) Unless otherwise defined in this section, all terms shall have 
the meaning attributed to them by the IRS.
    (b) Period of measurement. (1) Annual receipts of a concern which 
has been in business for 3 or more completed fiscal years means the 
receipts of the concern over its last 3 completed fiscal years divided 
by three.
    (2) Annual receipts of a concern which has been in business for less 
than 3 complete fiscal years means the receipts for the period the 
concern has been in business divided by the number of weeks in business, 
multiplied by 52.
    (3) Annual receipts of a concern which has been in business 3 or 
more complete fiscal years but has a short year as one of those years 
means the receipts for the short year and the two full fiscal years 
divided by the number of weeks in the short year and the two full fiscal 
years, multiplied by 52.
    (c) Use of information other than the Federal tax return. Where 
other information gives SBA reason to regard Federal Income Tax returns 
as false, SBA may base its size determination on such other information.
    (d) Annual receipts of affiliates. (1) If a concern has acquired an 
affiliate or been acquired as an affiliate during the applicable 
averaging period or before small business self-certification, the annual 
receipts in determining size status include the receipts of both firms. 
Furthermore, this aggregation applies for the entire applicable period 
used in computing size rather than only for the period after the 
affiliation arose. Receipts are determined for the concern and its 
affiliates in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section even though 
this may result in different periods being used to calculate annual 
receipts.
    (2) The annual receipts of a former affiliate are not included as 
annual receipts if affiliation ceased before the date used for 
determining size. This exclusion of annual receipts of a former 
affiliate applies during the entire period used in computing size, 
rather than only for the period after which the affiliation ceased .
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 48604, Aug. 9, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.105  How does SBA define ``business concern or concern''?
 
    (a) A business concern eligible for assistance from SBA as a small 
business is a business entity organized for profit, with a place of 
business located in the United States, and which operates primarily 
within the United States or which makes a significant contribution to 
the U.S. economy through payment of taxes or use of American products, 
materials or labor.
    (b) A business concern may be in the legal form of an individual 
proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, 
joint venture, association, trust or cooperative, except that where the 
form is a joint venture there can be no more than 49 percent 
participation by foreign business entities in the joint venture.
    (c) A firm will not be treated as a separate business concern if a 
substantial portion of its assets and/or liabilities are the same as 
those of a predecessor entity. In such a case, the annual receipts and 
employees of the predecessor will be taken into account in determining 
size.
 
Sec. 121.106  How does SBA calculate number of employees?
 
    (a) Employees counted in determining size include all individuals 
employed on a full-time, part-time, temporary, or other basis. SBA will 
consider the totality of the circumstances,
 
[[Page 278]]
 
including factors relevant for tax purposes, in determining whether 
individuals are employees of the concern in question.
    (b) Where the size standard is number of employees, the method for 
determining a concern's size includes the following principles:
    (1) The average number of employees of the concern is used 
(including the employees of its domestic and foreign affiliates) based 
upon numbers of employees for each of the pay periods for the preceding 
completed 12 calendar months.
    (2) Part-time and temporary employees are counted the same as full-
time employees.
    (3) If a concern has not been in business for 12 months, the average 
number of employees is used for each of the pay periods during which it 
has been in business.
    (4) The treatment of employees of former affiliates or recently 
acquired affiliates is the same as for size determinations using annual 
receipts in Sec. 121.104(d).
 
Sec. 121.107  How does SBA determine a concern's ``primary industry''?
 
    In determining the primary industry in which a concern or a concern 
combined with its affiliates is engaged, SBA considers the distribution 
of receipts, employees and costs of doing business among the different 
industries in which business operations occurred for the most recently 
completed fiscal year. SBA may also consider other factors, such as the 
distribution of patents, contract awards, and assets.
 
Sec. 121.108  What are the penalties for misrepresentation of size 
          status?
 
    In addition to other laws which may be applicable, section 16(d) of 
the Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 645(d), provides severe criminal 
penalties for knowingly misrepresenting the small business size status 
of a concern in connection with procurement programs. Section 16(a) of 
the Act also provides, in part, for criminal penalties for knowingly 
making false statements or misrepresentations to SBA for the purpose of 
influencing in any way the actions of the Agency.
 
          Size Standards Used To Define Small Business Concerns
 
Sec. 121.201  What size standards has SBA identified by North American 
          Industry Classification System codes?
 
    The size standards described in this section apply to all SBA 
programs unless otherwise specified in this part. The size standards 
themselves are expressed either in number of employees or annual 
receipts in millions of dollars, unless otherwise specified. The number 
of employees or annual receipts indicates the maximum allowed for a 
concern and its affiliates to be considered small.

    5. NAICS code 326211--For Government procurement, a firm is small 
for bidding on a contract for pneumatic tires within Census 
Classification codes 30111 and 30112, provided that:
    (a) The value of tires within Census Classification codes 30111 and 
30112 which it manufactured in the United States during the previous 
calendar year is more than 50 percent of the value of its total 
worldwide manufacture,
    (b) the value of pneumatic tires within Census Classification codes 
30111 and 30112 comprising its total worldwide manufacture during the 
preceding calendar year was less than 5 percent of the value of all such 
tires manufactured in the United States during that period, and
    (c) the value of the principal product which it manufactured or 
otherwise produced, or sold worldwide during the preceding calendar year 
is less than 10 percent of the total value of such products manufactured

    6. NAICS Subsectors 333, 334, 335 and 336--For rebuilding machinery 
or equipment on a factory basis, or equivalent, use the NAICS code for a 
newly manufactured product. Concerns performing major rebuilding or 
overhaul activities do not necessarily have to meet the criteria for 
being a ``manufacturer'' although the activities may be classified under 
a manufacturing NAICS code. Ordinary repair services or preservation are 
not considered rebuilding.

financial institution's assets are determined by averaging the assets 
reported on its four quarterly financial statements for the preceding 
year. ``Assets'' for the purposes of this size standard means the assets 
defined according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination 
Council 034 call report form.
    9. NAICS code 531190--Leasing of building space to the Federal 
Government by Owners: For Government procurement, a size standard of

agent.
    10. NAICS codes 488510 (part), 531210, 541810, 561510 and 561920--As 
measured by total revenues, but excluding funds received in trust for an 
unaffiliated third party, such as bookings or sales subject to 
commissions. The commissions received are included as revenue.
    11. NAICS code 541710--For research and development contracts 
requiring the delivery of a manufactured product, the appropriate size 
standard is that of the manufacturing industry.
    (a) ``Research and Development'' means laboratory or other physical 
research and development. It does not include economic, educational, 
engineering, operations, systems, or other nonphysical research; or 
computer programming, data processing, commercial and/or medical 
laboratory testing.
    (b) For purposes of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) 
program only, a different definition has been established by law. See 
Sec. 121.701 of these regulations.
    (c) ``Research and Development'' for guided missiles and space 
vehicles includes evaluations and simulation, and other services 
requiring thorough knowledge of complete missiles and spacecraft.
    12. NAICS code 561210--Facilities Management, a component of NAICS 
561210, includes establishments, not classified elsewhere, which provide 
overall management and personnel to perform a variety of related support 
services in operating a complete facility in or around a specific 
building, or within another business or Government establishment. 
Facilities management means furnishing three or more personnel supply 
services which may include, but are not limited to secretarial services, 
typists, word processing, maintaining files and/or libraries, telephone 
answering, switchboard operation, reproduction or mimeograph service, 
mailing service, writers, bookkeeping, financial or business management, 
public relations, conference planning, minor office equipment 
maintenance and repair, use of information systems (not programming), 
word processing, travel arrangements, maintaining files and/or 
libraries.
    13. NAICS code 235990 (All Other Special Trade Contractors) and 
NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services)--Base Maintenance:
    (a) If one of the activities of base maintenance, as defined in 
paragraph (b) (below in this endnote) can be identified with a separate 
industry and that activity (or industry) accounts for 50 percent or more 
of the value of an entire contract, then the proper size standard is 
that of the particular industry, and not the base maintenance size 
standard.
    (b) ``Base Maintenance'' requires the performance of three or more 
separate activities in the areas of service or special trade 
construction industries. If services are performed, these activities 
must each be in a separate NAICS code including, but not limited to, 
Janitorial and Custodial Service, Fire Prevention Service, Messenger 
Service, Commissary Service, Protective Guard Service, and Grounds 
Maintenance and Landscaping Service. If the contract requires the use of 
special trade contractors (plumbing, painting, plastering, carpentry, 
etc.), all such special trade construction activities are considered a 
single activity and classified as
 
[[Page 302]]
 
Base Housing Maintenance. Since Base Housing Maintenance is only one 
activity, two additional activities are required for a contract to be 
classified as ``Base Maintenance.''
    14. NAICS 562910--Environmental Remediation Services:
    (a) For SBA assistance as a small business concern in the industry 
of Environmental Remediation Services, other than for Government 
procurement, a concern must be engaged primarily in furnishing a range 
of services for the remediation of a contaminated environment to an 
acceptable condition including, but not limited to, preliminary 
assessment, site inspection, testing, remedial investigation, 
feasibility studies, remedial design, containment, remedial action, 
removal of contaminated materials, storage of contaminated materials and 
security and site closeouts. If one of such activities accounts for 50 
percent or more of a concern's total revenues, employees, or other 
related factors, the concern's primary industry is that of the 
particular industry and not the Environmental Remediation Services 
Industry.
    (b) For purposes of classifying a Government procurement as 
Environmental Remediation Services, the general purpose of the 
procurement must be to restore a contaminated environment and also the 
procurement must be composed of activities in three or more separate 
industries with separate NAICS codes or, in some instances (e.g., 
engineering), smaller sub-components of NAICS codes with separate, 
distinct size standards. These activities may include, but are not 
limited to, separate activities in industries such as: Heavy 
Construction; Special Trade Construction; Engineering Services; 
Architectural Services; Management Services; Refuse Systems; Sanitary 
Services, Not Elsewhere Classified; Local Trucking Without Storage; 
Testing Laboratories; and Commercial, Physical and Biological Research. 
If any activity in the procurement can be identified with a separate 
NAICS code, or component of a code with a separate distinct size 
standard, and that industry accounts for 50 percent or more of the value 
of the entire procurement, then the proper size standard is the one for 
that particular industry, and not the Environmental Remediation Service 
size standard.
    15. Subsector 483--Water Transportation--Offshore Marine Services: 
The applicable size standard shall be $20.5 million for firms furnishing 
specific transportation services to concerns engaged in offshore oil 
and/or natural gas exploration, drilling production, or marine research; 
such services encompass passenger and freight transportation, anchor 
handling, and related logistical services to and from the work site or 
at sea.

       Size Eligibility Requirements For SBA Financial Assistance
 
Sec. 121.301  What size standards are applicable to financial assistance 
          programs?
 
    (a) For Business Loans and Disaster Loans (other than physical 
disaster loans), an applicant must not exceed the size standard for the 
industry in which:
    (1) The applicant combined with its affiliates is primarily engaged; 
and
    (2) The applicant alone is primarily engaged.
    (b) For Development Company programs, an applicant must meet one of 
the following standards:
    (1) The same standards applicable under paragraph (a) of this 
section; or
    (2) Including its affiliates, tangible net worth not in excess of $6 
million, and average net income after Federal income taxes (excluding 
any carry-over losses) for the preceding two completed fiscal years not 
in excess of $2 million. If the applicant is not required by law to pay 
Federal income taxes at the enterprise level, but is required to pass 
income through to its shareholders, partners, beneficiaries, or other 
equitable owners, the applicant's ``net income after Federal income 
taxes'' will be its net income reduced by an amount computed as follows:
    (i) If the applicant is not required by law to pay State (and local, 
if any) income taxes at the enterprise level, multiply its net income by 
the marginal State income tax rate (or by the combined State and local 
income tax rates, as applicable) that would have applied if it were a 
taxable corporation.
    (ii) Multiply the applicant's net income, less any deduction for 
State and local income taxes calculated under paragraph (b)(2)(i) of 
this section, by the marginal Federal income tax rate that would have 
applied if the applicant were a taxable corporation.
 
[[Page 303]]
 
    (iii) Sum the results obtained in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and 
(b)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (c) For the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program, an 
applicant must meet one of the following standards:
    (1) The same standards applicable under paragraph (a) of this 
section; or
    (2) Including its affiliates, tangible net worth not in excess of 
$18 million, and average net income after Federal income taxes 
(excluding any carry-over losses) for the preceding two completed fiscal 
years not in excess of $6 million. If the applicant is not required by 
law to pay Federal income taxes at the enterprise level, but is required 
to pass income through to its shareholders, partners, beneficiaries, or 
other equitable owners, the applicant's ``net income after Federal 
income taxes'' will be its net income reduced by an amount computed as 
follows:
    (i) If the applicant is not required by law to pay State (and local, 
if any) income taxes at the enterprise level, multiply its net income by 
the marginal State income tax rate (or by the combined State and local 
income tax rates, as applicable) that would have applied if it were a 
taxable corporation.
    (ii) Multiply the applicant's net income, less any deduction for 
State and local income taxes calculated under paragraph (c)(2)(i) of 
this section, by the marginal Federal income tax rate that would have 
applied if the applicant were a taxable corporation.
    (iii) Add the results obtained in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) and 
(c)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (d) For Surety Bond Guarantee assistance--
    (1) Any construction (general or special trade) concern or concern 
performing a contract for services is small if its average annual 
receipts do not exceed $5.0 million.
    (2) Any concern not specified in paragraph (d)(1) of this section 
must meet the size standard for the primary industry in which it, 
combined with its affiliates, is engaged.
    (e) The applicable size standards for the purpose of all SBA 
financial assistance programs, excluding the Surety Bond Guarantee 
assistance program, are increased by 25 percent whenever the applicant 
agrees to use the assistance within a labor surplus area. Labor surplus 
areas are listed monthly in the Department of Labor publication called 
``Area Trends.''
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 66 FR 30648, June 7, 2001]
 
Sec. 121.302  When does SBA determine the size status of an applicant?
 
    (a) The size of an applicant for SBA financial assistance is 
determined as of the date the application for such financial assistance 
is accepted for processing by SBA, except for the Disaster Loan and 
Preferred Lenders programs.
    (b) For the Preferred Lenders program, size is determined as of the 
date of approval of the loan by the Preferred Lender.
    (c) For disaster loan assistance (other than physical disaster 
loans), size status is determined as of the date the disaster commenced, 
as set forth in the Disaster Declaration. For pre-disaster mitigation 
loans, size status is determined as of the date SBA accepts the 
application for processing.
    (d) Changes in size subsequent to the applicable date when size is 
determined will not disqualify an applicant for assistance.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 64 FR 48276, Sept. 3, 1999]
 
Sec. 121.303  What size procedures are used by SBA before it makes a 
          formal size determination?
 
    (a) A concern that submits an application for financial assistance 
is deemed to have certified that it is small under the applicable size 
standard. SBA may question the concern's status based on information 
supplied in the application or from any other source.
    (b) A small business investment company, a development company, a 
surety bond company, or a preferred lender may accept as true the size 
information provided by an applicant, unless credible evidence to the 
contrary is apparent.
    (c) Size is initially considered by the individual with final 
financial assistance authority. This is not a formal
 
[[Page 304]]
 
size determination. A formal determination may be requested prior to a 
denial of eligibility based on size.
    (d) An applicant may request a formal size determination when 
assistance has been denied for size ineligibility. Except for disaster 
loan eligibility, a request for a formal size determination must be made 
to the Government Contracting Area Director serving the area in which 
the headquarters of the applicant is located, regardless of the location 
of the parent company or affiliates. For disaster loan assistance, the 
request for a size determination must be made to the Area Director for 
the Disaster Area Office which denied the assistance.
    (e) There are no time limitations for making a formal size 
determination for purposes of financial assistance. The official making 
the formal size determination must provide a copy of the determination 
to the applicant, to the requesting SBA official, and to other 
interested SBA program officials.
 
Sec. 121.304  What are the size requirements for refinancing an existing 
          SBA loan?
 
    (a) A concern that applies to refinance an existing SBA loan or 
guarantee will be considered small for the refinancing even though its 
size has increased since the date of the original financing to exceed 
its applicable size standard, provided that:
    (1) The increase in size is due to natural growth (as distinguished 
from merger, acquisition or similar management action); and
    (2) SBA determines that refinancing is necessary to protect the 
Government's financial interest.
    (b) If a concern's size has increased other than by natural growth, 
the concern and its affiliates must be small at the time the application 
for refinancing is accepted for processing by SBA.
 
Sec. 121.305  What size eligibility requirements exist for obtaining 
          business loans relating to particular procurements?
 
    A concern qualified as small for a particular procurement, including 
an 8(a) subcontract, is small for financial assistance directly and 
primarily relating to the performance of the particular procurement.
 
        Size Eligibility Requirements for Government Procurement
 
Sec. 121.401  What procurement programs are subject to size 
          determinations?
 
    The requirements set forth in Secs. 121.401 through 121.413 cover 
all procurement programs for which status as a small business is 
required, including the small business set-aside program, SBA's 
Certificate of Competency program, SBA's 8(a) Business Development 
program, the Small Business Subcontracting program authorized under 
section 8(d) of the Small Business Act, the Federal Small Disadvantaged 
Business (SDB) programs, the HUBZone program, and the Very Small 
Business (VSB) program.
 
[63 FR 46642, Sept. 2, 1998]
 
Sec. 121.402  What size standards are applicable to procurement 
          assistance programs?
 
    (a) A concern must meet the size standard for the NAICS code 
specified in the solicitation.
    (b) The procuring agency contracting officer, or authorized 
representative, designates the proper NAICS code and size standard in a 
solicitation, selecting the NAICS code which best describes the 
principal purpose of the product or service being acquired. Primary 
consideration is given to the industry descriptions in the NAICS United 
States Manual, the product or service description in the solicitation 
and any attachments to it, the relative value and importance of the 
components of the procurement making up the end item being procured, and 
the function of the goods or services being purchased. Other factors 
considered include previous Government procurement classifications of 
the same or similar products or services, and the classification which 
would best serve the purposes of the Small Business Act. A procurement 
is usually classified according to the component which accounts for the 
greatest percentage of contract value.
    (c) The NAICS code assigned to a procurement and its corresponding 
size
 
[[Page 305]]
 
standard is final unless timely appealed to SBA's Office of Hearings and 
Appeals (OHA), or unless SBA assigns an NAICS code or size standard as 
provided in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (d) An unclear, incomplete or missing NAICS code designation or size 
standard in the solicitation may be clarified, completed or supplied by 
SBA in connection with a formal size determination or size appeal.
    (e) Any offeror or other interested party adversely affected by an 
NAICS code designation or size standard designation may appeal the 
designations to OHA under part 134 of this chapter.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.403  Are SBA size determinations and NAICS code designations 
          binding on parties?
 
    Formal size determinations and NAICS code designations made by 
authorized SBA officials are binding upon the parties. Opinions 
otherwise provided by SBA officials to contracting officers or others 
are advisory in nature, and are not binding or appealable.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.404  When does SBA determine the size status of a business 
          concern?
 
    Generally, SBA determines the size status of a concern (including 
its affiliates) as of the date the concern submits a written self-
certification that it is small to the procuring agency as part of its 
initial offer including price. The following are two exceptions to this 
rule:
    (a) The size status of an applicant for a Certificate of Competency 
(COC) relating to an unrestricted procurement is determined as of the 
date of the concern's application for the COC.
    (b) Size status for purposes of compliance with the nonmanufacturer 
rule set forth in Sec. 121.406(b)(1) and the ostensible subcontractor 
rule set forth in Sec. 121.103(f)(3) is determined as of the date of the 
best and final offer.
 
Sec. 121.405  May a business concern self-certify its small business 
          size status?
 
    (a) A concern must self-certify it is small under the size standard 
specified in the solicitation, or as clarified, completed or supplied by 
SBA pursuant to Sec. 121.402(d).
    (b) A contracting officer may accept a concern's self-certification 
as true for the particular procurement involved in the absence of a 
written protest by other offerors or other credible information which 
causes the contracting officer or SBA to question the size of the 
concern.
    (c) Procedures for protesting the self-certification of an offeror 
are set forth in Secs. 121.1001 through 121.1009.
 
Sec. 121.406  How does a small business concern qualify to provide 
          manufactured products under small business set-aside or MED 
          procurements?
 
    (a) General. In order to qualify as a small business concern for a 
small business set-aside or 8(a) contract to provide manufactured 
products, an offeror must either:
    (1) Be the manufacturer of the end item being procured (and the end 
item must be manufactured or produced in the United States); or
    (2) Comply with the requirements of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of 
this section as a nonmanufacturer, a kit assembler or a supplier under 
Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
    (b) Nonmanufacturers. (1) A concern may qualify for a requirement to 
provide manufactured products as a nonmanufacturer if it:
    (i) Does not exceed 500 employees;
    (ii) Is primarily engaged in the wholesale or retail trade and 
normally sells the items being supplied to the general public; and
    (iii) Will supply the end item of a small business manufacturer or 
processor made in the United States, or obtains a waiver of such 
requirement pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (2) For size purposes, there can be only one manufacturer of the end 
item being acquired. The manufacturer is
 
[[Page 306]]
 
the concern which, with its own facilities, performs the primary 
activities in transforming inorganic or organic substances, including 
the assembly of parts and components, into the end item being acquired. 
The end item must possess characteristics which, as a result of 
mechanical, chemical or human action, it did not possess before the 
original substances, parts or components were assembled or transformed. 
The end item may be finished and ready for utilization or consumption, 
or it may be semifinished as a raw material to be used in further 
manufacturing. Firms which perform only minimal operations upon the item 
being procured do not qualify as manufacturers of the end item. SBA will 
evaluate the following factors in determining whether a concern is the 
manufacturer of the end item:
    (i) The proportion of total value in the end item added by the 
efforts of the concern, excluding costs of overhead, testing, quality 
control, and profit; and
    (ii) The importance of the elements added by the concern to the 
function of the end item, regardless of their relative value.
    (3) The Administrator or designee may waive the requirement set 
forth in paragraph (b)(1)(iii) of this section under the following two 
circumstances:
    (i) The contracting officer has determined that no small business 
manufacturer or processor reasonably can be expected to offer a product 
meeting the specifications (including period for performance) required 
by a particular solicitation and SBA reviews and accepts that 
determination; or
    (ii) SBA determines that no small business manufacturer or processor 
of the product or class of products is available to participate in the 
Federal procurement market.
    (4) The two waiver possibilities identified in paragraph (b)(3) of 
this section are called ``individual'' and ``class'' waivers 
respectively, and the procedures for them are contained in Sec. 121.1204 
.
    (5) Any SBA waiver of the nonmanufacturer rule has no effect on 
requirements external to the Small Business Act which involve domestic 
sources of supply, such as the Buy American Act.
    (c) Kit assemblers. (1) Where the manufactured item being acquired 
is a kit of supplies or other goods provided by an offeror for a special 
purpose, the offeror cannot exceed 500 employees, and 50 percent of the 
total value of the components of the kit must be manufactured by 
business concerns in the United States which are small under the size 
standards for the NAICS codes of the components being assembled. The 
offeror need not itself be the manufacturer of any of the items 
assembled.
    (2) Where the Government has specified an item for the kit which is 
not produced by U.S. small business concerns, such item shall be 
excluded from the calculation of total value in paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section.
    (d) Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Where the procurement of a 
manufactured item is processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, 
as defined in Sec. 13.101 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
(48 CFR 13.101), and where the anticipated cost of the procurement will 
not exceed $25,000, the offeror need not supply the end product of a 
small business concern as long as the product acquired is manufactured 
or produced in the United States, and the offeror does not exceed 500 
employees. The offeror need not itself be the manufacturer of any of the 
items acquired.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996; 61 FR 7986, Mar. 1, 1996, as amended at 65 
FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.407  What are the size procedures for multiple item 
          procurements?
 
    If a procurement calls for two or more specific end items or types 
of services with different size standards and the offeror may submit an 
offer on any or all end items or types of services, the offeror must 
meet the size standard for each end item or service item for which it 
submits an offer. If the procurement calls for more than one specific 
end item or type of service and an offeror is required to submit an 
offer on all items, the offeror may qualify as a small business for the 
procurement if it meets the size standard of the item which accounts for 
the greatest percentage of the total contract value.
 
[[Page 307]]
 
Sec. 121.408  What are the size procedures for SBA's Certificate of 
          Competency Program?
 
    (a) A firm which applies for a COC must file an ``Application for 
Small Business Size Determination'' (SBA Form 355). If the initial 
review of SBA Form 355 indicates the applicant, including its 
affiliates, is small for purposes of the COC program, SBA will process 
the application for COC. If the review indicates the applicant, 
including its affiliates, is other than small, SBA will initiate a 
formal size determination as set forth in Sec. 121.1009. In such a case, 
SBA will not further process the COC application until a formal size 
determination is made.
    (b) A concern is ineligible for a COC if a formal SBA size 
determination finds the concern other than small.
 
Sec. 121.409  What size standard applies in an unrestricted procurement 
          for Certificate of Competency purposes?
 
    For the purpose of receiving a Certificate of Competency in an 
unrestricted procurement, the applicable size standard is that 
corresponding to the NAICS code set forth in the solicitation. For a 
manufactured product, a concern must also furnish a domestically 
produced or manufactured product, regardless of the size status of the 
product manufacturer. The offeror need not be the manufacturer of any of 
the items acquired.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.410  What are the size standards for SBA's Section 8(d) 
          Subcontracting Program?
 
    For subcontracting purposes pursuant to section 8(d) of the Small 
Business Act, a concern is small:
    (a) For subcontracts of $10,000 or less which relate to Government 
procurements, if its number of employees (including its affiliates) does 
not exceed 500 employees. However, subcontracts for engineering services 
awarded under the National Energy Policy Act of 1992 have the same size 
standard as Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons under 
NAICS code 541330;
    (b) For subcontracts exceeding $10,000 which relate to Government 
procurements, if its number of employees or average annual receipts 
(including its affiliates) does not exceed the size standard for the 
product or service it is providing on the subcontract; and
    (c) For subcontracts for financial services, if the concern 
(including its affiliates) is a commercial bank or savings and loan 
association whose assets do not exceed $100 million.

maintained or sanctioned by SBA, as an accurate representation of a 
concern's size and ownership characteristics for purposes of maintaining 
a small business source list. Even though a concern is on a small 
business source list, it must still qualify and self-certify as a small 
business at the time it submits its offer as a section 8(d) 
subcontractor.
    (b) Upon determination of the successful subcontract offeror for a 
competitive subcontract, but prior to award, the prime contractor must 
inform each unsuccessful subcontract offeror in writing of the name and 
location of the apparent successful offeror.
    (c) The self-certification of a concern subcontracting or proposing 
to subcontract under section 8(d) of the Small Business Act may be 
protested by the contracting officer, the prime contractor, the 
appropriate SBA official or any other interested party.

certification that it is small to the Government as part of its initial 
offer including price where there is a specific sale or lease at issue, 
or as set forth in Sec. 121.903 if made in response to a request of

manufacture of lumber and wood related products such as veneer, plywood, 
hardboard, particle board, or wood pulp, and of products of which lumber 
or wood related products are the principal raw materials.
    (b) Logging of timber means felling and bucking, yarding, and/or 
loading. It does not mean hauling.
    (c) Manufacture of logs means, at a minimum, breaking down logs into 
rough cuts of the finished product.
    (d) Sell means, in addition to its usual and customary meaning, the 
exchange of sawlogs for sawlogs on a product-for-product basis with or 
without monetary adjustment, and an indirect transfer, such as the sale 
of the assets of a concern after it has been awarded one or more set-
aside sales of timber.
    (e) Significant logging of timber means that a concern uses its own 
employees to perform at least two of the following: felling and bucking, 
yarding, and loading.

least 70% of the sawtimber volume to businesses which do meet the 
requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section; or
    (4) If it intends at the time of offer to resell the timber--
    (i) Agree that it will not sell more than 30% of such timber (50% of

volume, if it is an Alaskan business) to businesses which meet the 
requirements of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this section.
    (b) For a period of three years following the date upon which a

 Size Eligibility Requirements for the Minority Enterprise Development 
                              (MED) Program
 
Sec. 121.601  What is a small business for purposes of admission to 
          SBA's Minority Enterprise Development (MED) program?
 
    An applicant must be small under the size standard corresponding to 
its primary industry classification in order to be admitted to SBA's 
Minority Enterprise Development (MED) program.
 
Sec. 121.602  At what point in time must a MED applicant be small?
 
    A MED applicant must be small for its primary industry at the time 
SBA certifies it for admission into the program.
 
Sec. 121.603  How does SBA determine whether a Participant is small for 
          a particular MED subcontract?
 
    (a) Self certification by Participant. A MED Participant must 
certify that it qualifies as a small business under the NAICS code 
assigned to a particular MED subcontract as part of its initial offer 
including price to the procuring agency. The Participant also must 
submit a copy of its offer, including its self-certification as to size, 
to the appropriate SBA district office at the same time it submits the 
offer to the procuring agency. See Sec. 121.404 for the time at which 
size is determined for, and Sec. 121.406 for the applicability of the 
nonmanufacturer rule to, MED procurements.
    (b) Verification of size by SBA. Within 30 days of its receipt of a 
Participant's size self-certification for a particular MED subcontract, 
the SBA district office serving the geographic area in which the 
Participant's principal office is located will review the Participant's 
self-certification and determine if it is small for purposes of that 
subcontract. The SBA district office will review the Participant's most 
recent financial statements and other relevant data and then notify the 
Participant of its decision.
    (c) Changes in size between date of self-certification and date of 
award. (1) Where SBA verifies that the selected Participant is small for 
a particular procurement, subsequent changes in size up to the date of 
award, except those due to merger with or acquisition by another 
business concern, will not affect the firm's size status for that 
procurement.
    (2) Where a Participant has merged with or been acquired by another 
business concern between the date of its self-certification and the date 
of award, the concern must recertify its size status, and SBA must 
verify the new certification before award can occur.
    (d) Finding Participant to be other than small. (1) A Participant 
may request a formal size determination (pursuant to Secs. 121.1001 
through 121.1009) with the SBA Government Contracting Area Office 
serving the geographic area in which the principal office of the 
Participant is located within 5 working days of its receipt of notice 
from the SBA district office that it is not small for a particular MED 
subcontract.
 
[[Page 311]]
 
    (2) Where the Participant does not timely request a formal size 
determination, SBA may accept the procurement in support of another 
Participant, or may rescind its acceptance of the offer for the MED 
program, as appropriate.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.604  Are MED Participants considered small for purposes of 
          other SBA assistance?
 
    A concern which SBA determines to be a small business for the award 
of a MED subcontract will be considered to have met applicable size 
eligibility requirements of other SBA programs where that assistance 
directly and primarily relates to the performance of the MED subcontract 
in question.

    (a) A firm must self-certify it is small in its SBIR funding 
proposal.
    (b) A funding agreement officer may accept a concern's self-
certification as true for the particular funding agreement involved in 
the absence of a written protest by other offerors or other credible 
information which would cause the funding agreement officer or SBA to 
question the size of the concern.
    (c) Procedures for protesting an offeror's self-certification are 
set forth in Secs. 121.1001 through 121.1009.

to any concern which would not qualify as a non-profit organization or a 
small business concern under this section.
 
Sec. 121.803  Are formal size determinations binding on parties?
 
    Size determinations by authorized SBA officials are formal actions, 
based upon a specific patent application pursuant to the rules of the 
Patent and Trademark Office, Department of Commerce, and are binding 
upon the parties. Other SBA opinions provided to patent applicants or 
others are only advisory, and are not binding or appealable.
 
Sec. 121.804  When does SBA determine the size status of a business 
          concern?
 
    Size status is determined as of the date of the patent applicant's 
written verification of size.
 
Sec. 121.805  May a business concern self-certify its size status?
 
    (a) A concern verifies its size status with its submission of its 
patent application.
    (b) Any attempt to establish small size status improperly 
(fraudulently, through gross negligence, or otherwise) may result in 
remedial action by the Patent and Trademark Office.
    (c) In the absence of credible information indicating otherwise, the 
Patent and Trademark Office may accept the verification by the concern 
as a small business as true.
    (d) Questions concerning the size verification are resolved

the applicant may request a formal SBA size determination.
 
  Size Eligibility Requirements for Compliance With Programs of Other 
                                Agencies
 
Sec. 121.901  Can other Government agencies obtain SBA size 
          determinations?
 
    Upon request by another Government agency, SBA will provide a size 
determination, under SBA rules, standards and procedures, for its use in 
determining compliance with small business requirements of its statutes, 
regulations or programs.
 
Sec. 121.902  What size standards are applicable to programs of other 
          agencies?
 
    (a) SBA size standards. The size standards for compliance with 
programs of other agencies are those for SBA programs which are most 
comparable to the programs of such other agencies, unless otherwise 
agreed by the agency and SBA.
    (b) Special size standards. (1) Federal agencies or departments 
promulgating regulations relating to small businesses usually use SBA 
size criteria. In limited circumstances, if they decide the SBA size 
standard is not appropriate, then agency heads may establish a small 
business definition for the exclusive use of such program which is more 
appropriate, but only when:
    (i) The size standard is first proposed for public comment pursuant 
to the Administrative Procedure Act, 4 U.S.C. 553;
    (ii) The proposed size standard provides for determining size 
measured by average number of employees over 12 months for manufacturing 
concerns, average annual revenues over three years for concerns 
providing services, and data over a period of not less than three years 
for all other concerns (unless approved by SBA, ``annual receipts'' and 
``number of employees'' must be determined in accordance with 
Secs. 121.104 and 121.106, respectively); and
 
[[Page 313]]
 
    (iii) The proposed size standard is approved by SBA's Administrator.
    (2) In order to receive the approval of SBA's Administrator, the 
agency head must:
    (i) Request approval prior to publishing the proposed rule 
containing the size standard. The request must include: an explanation 
of the contemplated industry size standard, the reasons the SBA size 
standard is not appropriate, and the reasons the proposed size standard 
would be appropriate; and a certification that there will be compliance 
with the criteria set forth in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (b)(1)(ii) of 
this section; and
    (ii) Agree to provide written notice to SBA's Administrator prior to 
publishing the contemplated size standard as a final rule. The notice 
must include: a copy of the intended final rule, including the preamble, 
or a separate written justification for the intended size standard 
followed by a copy of the intended final rule and preamble prior to its 
publication; copies of all public comments relating to the size standard 
received in response to the proposed rule; and any other supporting 
documentation relevant to the size standard and requested by SBA's 
Administrator.
    (3) When approving any size standard established pursuant to 
subsection (b) of this section, SBA's Administrator will ensure that the 
size standard varies from industry to industry to the extent necessary 
to reflect the differing characteristics of the various industries, and 
consider other relevant factors.
    (4) Where the agency head is developing a size standard for the sole 
purpose of performing a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis pursuant to the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, the department or agency may, after 
consultation with the SBA Office of Advocacy, establish a size standard 
different from SBA's which is more appropriate for such analysis.
 
Sec. 121.903  When does SBA determine the size status of a business 
          concern?
 
    For the purpose of compliance with programs of other agencies, SBA 
will base its size determination on the size of the concern as of the 
date set forth in the request of the other agency.

other entities for purposes of determining whether the applicant would 
exceed the loan limit amount imposed by Sec. 120.151 of this chapter.
    (2) For SBA's 8(a) BD program:

requirements of another Government agency program not otherwise 
specified in this section, an official with authority to administer the 
program involved may request a formal size determination.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 63 FR 31907, June 11, 1998; 63 
FR 35739, June 30, 1998]
 
Sec. 121.1002  Who makes a formal size determination?
 
    The responsible Government Contracting Area Director or designee 
makes all formal size determinations in response to either a size 
protest or a request for a formal size determination, with the exception 
of size determinations for purposes of the Disaster Loan Program, which 
will be made by the Disaster Area Office Director or designee 
responsible for the area in which the disaster occurred.
 
Sec. 121.1003  Where should a size protest be filed?
 
    A protest involving a government procurement or sale must be filed 
with the contracting officer for the procurement or sale, who must 
forward the protest to the SBA Government Contracting Area Office 
serving the area in which the headquarters of the protested concern is 
located, regardless of the location of any parent company or affiliates.
 
Sec. 121.1004  What time limits apply to size protests?
 
    (a) Protests by entities other than contracting officers or SBA. (1) 
Non-negotiated procurement or sale. A protest must be received by the 
contracting officer prior to the close of business on the 5th day, 
exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after bid or 
proposal opening.
    (2) Negotiated procurement. A protest must be received by the 
contracting officer prior to the close of business on the 5th day, 
exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after the 
contracting officer has notified the protestor of the identity of the 
prospective awardee.
    (3) Multiple award schedule. On a multiple award schedule 
procurement set aside for small business, protests will be considered 
timely if received by SBA at any time prior to the expiration of the 
contract period (including renewals).
    (b) Protests by contracting officers or SBA. The time limitations in 
paragraph (a) of this section do not apply to contracting officers or 
SBA, and they may file protests before or after awards, except to the 
extent set forth in paragraph (e) of this section.
    (c) Effect of contract award. A timely filed protest applies to the 
procurement in question even though a contracting officer awarded the 
contract prior to receipt of the protest.
    (d) Untimely protests. A protest received after the allotted time 
limits must still be forwarded to SBA. SBA will dismiss untimely 
protests.
    (e) Premature protests. A protest filed by any party, including the 
contracting officer, before bid opening or notification to offerors of 
the selection of the apparent successful offer will be dismissed as 
premature.
 
Sec. 121.1005  How must a protest be filed with the contracting officer?
 
    A protest must be delivered to the contracting officer by hand, 
telegram, mail, FAX, or telephone. If a protest is made by telephone, 
the contracting officer must later receive a confirming letter either 
within the 5-day period in Sec. 121.1004(a)(1) or postmarked no later 
than one day after the date of the telephone protest.
 
Sec. 121.1006  When will a size protest be referred to an SBA Government 
          Contracting Area Office?
 
    (a) A contracting officer who receives a protest (other than from 
SBA) must forward the protest promptly to the SBA Government Contracting 
Area Office serving the area in which the headquarters of the offeror is 
located.
 
[[Page 316]]
 
    (b) A contracting officer's referral must contain the following 
information:
    (1) The protest and any accompanying materials;
    (2) A copy of the self-certification as to size;
    (3) Identification of the applicable size standard;
    (4) A copy of the solicitation;
    (5) Identification of the date of bid opening or notification 
provided to unsuccessful offerors;
    (6) The date on which the protest was received; and
    (7) A complete address and point of contact for the protested 
concern.
 
Sec. 121.1007  Must a protest of size status relate to a particular 
          procurement and be specific?
 
    (a) Particular procurement. A protest challenging the size of a 
concern which does not pertain to a particular procurement or sale will 
not be acted on by SBA.
    (b) A protest must include specific facts. A protest must be 
sufficiently specific to provide reasonable notice as to the grounds 
upon which the protested concern's size is questioned. Some basis for 
the belief or allegation stated in the protest must be given. A protest 
merely alleging that the protested concern is not small or is affiliated 
with unnamed other concerns does not specify adequate grounds for the 
protest. No particular form is prescribed for a protest. Where materials 
supporting the protest are available, they should be submitted with the 
protest.
    (c) Non-specific protests will be dismissed. Protests which do not 
contain sufficient specificity will be dismissed by SBA.
 
Sec. 121.1008  What happens after SBA receives a size protest or a 
          request for a formal size determination?
 
    (a) When a size protest is received, the SBA Government Contracting 
Area Director, or designee, will promptly notify the contracting 
officer, the protested concern, and the protestor that a protest has 
been received. In the event the size protest pertains to a requirement 
involving SBA's HUBZone Program, the Government Contracting Area 
Director will advise the AA/HUB of receipt of the protest. In the event 
the size protest pertains to a requirement involving SBA's SBIR Program, 
the Government Contracting Area Director will advise the Assistant 
Administrator for Technology of the receipt of the protest. SBA will 
provide a copy of the protest to the protested concern along with a 
blank SBA Application for Small Business Size Determination (SBA Form 
355) by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any overnight 
delivery service that provides proof of receipt. SBA will ask the 
protested concern to respond to the allegations of the protestor.
    (b) When SBA receives a request for a formal size determination in 
accord with Sec. 121.1001(b), SBA will provide a blank copy of SBA Form 
355 to the concern whose size is at issue.
    (c) The protested concern or concern whose size is at issue must 
return the completed SBA Form 355 and all other requested information to 
SBA within 3 working days from the date of receipt of the blank form 
from SBA. SBA has discretion to grant an extension of time to file the 
form. The firm must attach to the completed SBA Form 355 its answers to 
the allegations contained in the protest, where applicable, together 
with any supporting material.
    (d) If a concern does not submit a completed SBA Form 355, answers 
to the protest allegations, or other requested information within the 
allotted time provided by SBA, or if it submits incomplete information, 
SBA may presume that disclosure of the form, any information missing 
from it, or other missing information would show or tend to show that 
the concern is other than a small business.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 63 FR 31908, June 11, 1998]
 
Sec. 121.1009  What are the procedures for making the size 
          determination?
 
    (a) Time frame for making size determination. After receipt of a 
protest or a request for a formal size determination, SBA will make a 
formal size determination within 10 working days, if possible.
    (b) Basis for determination. The size determination will be based 
primarily on information supplied by the protestor or the entity 
requesting the
 
[[Page 317]]
 
size determination and the subject concern. The determination, however, 
may also be based on other grounds not raised in the protest or request 
for size determination. SBA may utilize other information in its files 
and may make inquiries including requests to the protestor, the 
protested concern and any alleged affiliates, or other persons for 
additional specific information.
    (c) Burden of persuasion. The concern whose size is under 
consideration has the burden of establishing its small business size.
    (d) Weight of evidence. SBA will give greater weight to specific, 
signed, factual evidence than to general, unsupported allegations or 
opinions. In the case of refusal or failure to furnish requested 
information within a required time period, SBA may assume that 
disclosure would be contrary to the interests of the party failing to 
make disclosure.
    (e) Formal size determination. The SBA will base its formal size 
determination upon the record, including reasonable inferences from the 
record, and will state in writing the basis for its findings and 
conclusions.
    (f) Notification of determination. SBA will promptly notify the 
contracting officer, the protestor, and the protested offeror, as well 
as each affiliate or alleged affiliate, of the size determination. The 
notification will be by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by 
any overnight delivery service that provides proof of receipt.
    (g) Results of an SBA size determination. (1) A formal size 
determination becomes effective immediately and remains in full force 
and effect unless and until reversed by OHA.
    (2) Once SBA has determined that a concern is other than small for 
purposes of a particular procurement, the concern cannot later become 
eligible for the procurement by reducing its size.
    (3) A concern determined to be other than small for a particular 
size standard is ineligible for any procurement or assistance authorized 
by the Small Business Act or the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, 
requiring the same or a lower size standard, unless recertified as small 
pursuant to Sec. 121.1010. Following an adverse size determination, a 
concern cannot again self-certify as small within the same or a lower 
size standard unless it is recertified as small by SBA. If it does so, 
it may be in violation of criminal laws, including section 16(d) of the 
Small Business Act, 15 U.S.C. 645(d). If the concern has already 
certified itself as small on a pending procurement or on another 
assistance application, the concern must immediately inform the 
officials responsible for the pending procurement or other requested 
assistance of the adverse size determination.
    (h) Limited reopening of size determinations. In cases where the 
size determination contains clear administrative error or a clear 
mistake of fact, SBA may, in its sole discretion, reopen the size 
determination to correct the error or mistake, provided the case has not 
been accepted for review by OHA.
 
Sec. 121.1010  How does a concern become recertified as a small 
          business?
 
    (a) A concern may request SBA to recertify it as small at any time 
by filing an application for recertification with the Government 
Contracting Area Office responsible for the area in which the 
headquarters of the applicant is located, regardless of the location of 
parent companies or affiliates. No particular form is prescribed for the 
application; however, the request for recertification must be 
accompanied by a current completed SBA Form 355 and any other 
information sufficient to show a significant change in its ownership, 
management, or other factors bearing on its status as a small concern.
    (b) Recertification will not be required nor will the prohibition 
against future self-certification apply if the adverse SBA size 
determination is based solely on a finding of affiliation due to a joint 
venture (e.g., ostensible subcontracting) limited to a particular 
Government procurement or property sale, or is based on an ineligible 
manufacturer where the eligible small business bidder or offeror is a 
nonmanufacturer on a particular Government procurement.
    (c) A denial of an application for recertification is a formal size 
determination and may be reviewed by OHA at the discretion of that 
office.
 
[[Page 318]]
 
    (d) The granting of an application for recertification has future 
effect only. While it is a formal size determination, notice of 
recertification is required to be given only to the applicant.
 
       Appeals of Size Determinations and NAICS Code Designations
 
Sec. 121.1101  Are formal size determinations subject to appeal?
 
    There is no right of appeal of a size determination. OHA, however, 
may, in its sole discretion, review a formal size determination made by 
a SBA Government Contracting Area Office or by a Disaster Area Office. 
Unless OHA accepts a petition for review of a formal size determination, 
the size determination made by a SBA Government Contracting Area Office 
or by a Disaster Area Office is the final decision of SBA. The 
procedures for requesting discretionary reviews by OHA of formal size 
determinations are set forth in part 134 of this chapter.
 
Sec. 121.1102  Are NAICS code designations subject to appeal?
 
    Appeals may be made to OHA, which has exclusive jurisdiction to 
determine appeals of NAICS code designations pursuant to part 134 of 
this chapter.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.1103  What are the procedures for appealing an NAICS code 
          designation?
 
    (a) Generally, any interested party who has been adversely affected 
by an NAICS code designation may appeal the designation to OHA. However, 
with respect to a particular sole source 8(a) contract, only the 
Associate Administrator for 8(a)BD may appeal.
    (b) Procedures for perfecting NAICS code appeals with OHA are 
contained in Sec. 19.303 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, 48 CFR 
19.303.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 63 FR 35739, June 30, 1998; 65

                 Subpart B--Other Applicable Provisions
 
    Waivers of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Classes of Products and 
                          Individual Contracts
 
Sec. 121.1201  What is the Nonmanufacturer Rule?
 
    The Nonmanufacturer Rule is set forth in Sec. 121.406(b).
 
Sec. 121.1202  When will a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule be granted 
          for a class of products?
 
    (a) A waiver for a class of products (class waiver) will be granted 
when there are no small business manufacturers or processors available 
to participate in the Federal market for that class of products.
    (b) Federal market means acquisitions by the Federal Government from 
offerors located in the United States, or such smaller area as SBA 
designates if it concludes that the class of products is not supplied on 
a national basis.
    (1) When considering the appropriate market area for a product, SBA 
presumes that the entire United States is the relevant Federal market, 
unless it is clearly demonstrated that a class of products cannot be 
procured on a national basis. This presumption may be particularly 
difficult to overcome in the case of manufactured products, since such 
items typically have a market area encompassing the entire United 
States.
    (2) When considering geographic segmentation of a Federal market, 
SBA will not necessarily use market definitions dependent on airline 
radius, political, or SBA regional boundaries. Market areas typically 
follow established transportation routes rather than jurisdictional 
borders. SBA examines the following factors, among others, in cases 
where geographic segmentation for a class of products is urged:
    (i) Whether perishability affects the area in which the product can 
practically be sold;
    (ii) Whether transportation costs are high as a proportion of the 
total value
 
[[Page 319]]
 
of the product so as to limit the economic distribution of the product;
    (iii) Whether there are legal barriers to transportation of the 
item;
    (iv) Whether a fixed, well-delineated boundary exists for the 
purported market area and whether this boundary has been stable over 
time; and
    (v) Whether a small business, not currently selling in the defined 
market area, could potentially enter the market from another area and 
supply the market at a reasonable price.
    (c) Available to participate in the context of the Federal market 
means that contractors exist that have been awarded or have performed a 
contract to supply a specific class of products to the Federal 
Government within 24 months from the date of the request for waiver, 
either directly or through a dealer, or who have submitted an offer on a 
solicitation for that class of products within that time frame.
    (d) Class of products is an individual subdivision within an NAICS 
Industry Number as established by the Office of Management and Budget in 
the NAICS Manual.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.1203  When will a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule be granted 
          for an individual contract?
 
    An individual waiver for a product in a specific solicitation will 
be approved when the SBA Associate Administrator for Government 
Contracting reviews and accepts a contracting officer's determination 
that no small business manufacturer or processor can reasonably be 
expected to offer a product meeting the specifications of a 
solicitation, including the period of performance.
 
Sec. 121.1204  What are the procedures for requesting and granting 
          waivers?
 
    (a) Waivers for classes of products. (1) SBA may, at its own 
initiative, examine a class of products for possible waiver of the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule.
    (2) Any interested person, business, association, or Federal agency 
may submit a request for a waiver for a particular class of products. 
Requests should be addressed or hand-carried to the Associate 
Administrator of Government Contracting, Small Business Administration, 
409 3rd Street SW., Washington, DC 20416.
    (3) Requests for a waiver of a class of products need not be in any 
particular form, but should include a statement of the class of products 
to be waived, the applicable NAICS code, and detailed information on the 
efforts made to identify small business manufacturers or processors for 
the class.
    (4) If SBA decides that there are small business manufacturers or 
processors in the Federal procurement market, it will deny the request 
for waiver, issue notice of the denial, and provide the names, 
addresses, and telephone numbers of the sources found. If SBA does not 
initially confirm the existence of small business manufacturers or 
processors in the Federal market, it will:
    (i) Publish notices in the Commerce Business Daily and the Federal 
Register seeking information on small business manufacturers or 
processors, announcing a notice of intent to waive the Nonmanufacturer 
Rule for that class of products and affording the public a 15-day 
comment period; and
    (ii) If no small business sources are identified, publish a notice 
in the Federal Register stating that no small business sources were 
found and that a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for that class of 
products has been granted.
    (5) An expedited procedure for issuing a class waiver may be used 
for emergency situations, but only if the contracting officer provides a 
determination to the Associate Administrator for Government Contracting 
that the procurement is proceeding under the authority of FAR 
Sec. 6.302-2 (48 CFR 6.302-2) for ``unusual and compelling urgency,'' or 
provides a determination materially the same as one of unusual and 
compelling urgency. Under the expedited procedure, if a small business 
manufacturer or processor is not identified by a PASS search, the SBA 
will grant the waiver for the class of products and then publish a 
notice in the Federal Register. The notice will state that a waiver has 
been granted, and solicit public comment for future procurements.
 
[[Page 320]]
 
    (6) The decision by the Associate Administrator for Government 
Contracting to grant or deny a waiver is the final decision by the 
Agency.
    (7) A waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for classes of products has 
no specific time limitation. SBA will, however, periodically review 
existing class waivers to the Nonmanufacturer Rule to determine if small 
business manufacturers or processors have become available to 
participate in the Federal market for the waived classes of products and 
the waiver should be terminated.
    (i) Upon SBA's receipt of evidence that a small business 
manufacturer or processor exists in the Federal market for a waived 
class of products, the waiver will be terminated by the Associate 
Administrator for Government Contracting. This evidence may be 
discovered by SBA during a periodic review of existing waivers or may be 
brought to SBA's attention by other sources.
    (ii) SBA will announce its intent to terminate a waiver for a class 
of products through the publication of a notice in the Federal Register, 
asking for comments regarding the proposed termination.
    (iii) Unless public comment reveals that no small business 
manufacturer or processor in fact exists for the class of products in 
question, SBA will publish a final Notice of Termination in the Federal 
Register.
    (b) Individual waivers for specific solicitations. (1) A contracting 
officer's request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for specific 
solicitations need not be in any particular form, but must, at a 
minimum, include:
    (i) A definitive statement of the specific item to be waived and 
justification as to why the specific item is required;
    (ii) The solicitation number, NAICS code, dollar amount of the 
procurement, and a brief statement of the procurement history;
    (iii) A determination by the contracting officer that there are no 
known small business manufacturers or processors for the requested items 
(the determination must contain a narrative statement of the contracting 
officer's efforts to search for small business manufacturers or 
processors of the item and the results of those efforts, and a statement 
by the contracting officer that there are no known small business 
manufacturers for the items and that no small business manufacturer or 
processor can reasonably be expected to offer the required items); and
    (iv) For contracts expected to exceed $500,000, a copy of the 
Statement of Work.
    (2) Requests should be addressed to the Associate Administrator for 
Government Contracting, Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20416.
    (3) SBA will examine the contracting officer's determination and any 
other information it deems necessary to make an informed decision on the 
individual waiver request. If SBA's research verifies that no small 
business manufacturers or processors exist for the item, the Associate 
Administrator for Government Contracting will grant an individual, one-
time waiver. If a small business manufacturer or processor is found for 
the product in question, the Associate Administrator will deny the 
request. Either decision represents a final decision by SBA.
 
[61 FR 3286, Jan. 31, 1996, as amended at 65 FR 30863, May 15, 2000]
 
Sec. 121.1205  How is a list of previously granted class waivers 
          obtained?
 
    A list of classes of products for which waivers of the 
Nonmanufacturer Rule have been granted will be maintained in SBA's 
Procurement Automated Source System (PASS). A list of such waivers may 
also be obtained by contacting the Office of Government Contracting at 
the Small Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20416, or at the nearest SBA Government Contracting Area Office.
