for the majority of agencies. As a
consequence, other agencies have
become less inclined to enter into
Economy Act Agreements to pay for the
SBA SDB certification process. As SBA
reassesses the SDB certification
program, SBA believes that it is
necessary to suspend the receipt of
further applications for SDB
certification. During this suspension,
SBA will continue to process all
applications received prior to the
effective date of the suspension to
completion. This means that any
application that is initially denied on
reconsideration may be appealed to
SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals
pursuant to SBA’s regulations. In
addition, SBA will continue to process
protests of SDB eligibility in connection
with specific Government contracts or
subcontracts during the suspension.
Any firm not wishing to complete the
application process may withdraw its
SDB application at any time.
