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 a six digit coding system. The coding system is the Office of Management and Budget North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is denying a 
request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for Demountable Cargo 
Containers Manufacturing (Dry Freight Containers/Connex Boxes) based on 
our recent discovery of small business manufacturers for this class of 
products. Denying this waiver will require recipients of contracts set 
aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small 
businesses, or SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program to provide the 
products of small business manufacturers or processors on such 
contracts.

DATES: This notice of denial is effective February 22, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act 
(Act), 15 U.S.C. Sec.  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 
Sec.  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

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

response, on December 21, 2006, SBA published in the Federal Register a

business manufacturers indicating that it has furnished this product to 
the Federal government. Accordingly, based on the available
