SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is considering
granting a class waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for Liquid
Propane Gas (LPG). On December 10,
2009, SBA received a request that a
class waiver be granted for liquid
propane gas (LPG), Product Service
Code (PSC) 6830 (Compressed and
Liquefied Gases), under the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code 325120 (Industrial
Gases Manufacturing). According to the
request, no small business
manufacturers supply these class of
products to the Federal government. On
January 12, 2010, SBA issued a notice
of intent to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for Compressed and Liquefied
Gases. 75 FR 1662 (2010). After
reviewing the responses to the notice
SBA has concluded that the January 12,
2010, notice should have been more
specific. Thus, SBA is seeking
information on whether there are small
business LPG manufacturers. If granted,
the waiver would allow otherwise
qualified small businesses to supply the
products of any manufacturer on a
Federal contract set aside for small
businesses, Service-Disabled VeteranOwned (SDVO) small businesses or
Participants in the SBA’s 8(a) Business
Development (BD) program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act (Act),
15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), and SBA’s
implementing regulations require that
recipients of Federal contracts set aside
for small businesses, SDVO small
businesses, or Participants in the SBA’s
8(a) BD 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. 13 CFR
121.406(b), 125.15(c). 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.
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.
13 CFR 121.1202(c). The SBA defines
‘‘class of products’’ based on the Office
of Management and Budget’s NAICS. In
addition, SBA uses PSCs to further
identify particular products within the
NAICS code to which a waiver would
apply. The SBA may then identify a
specific item within a PSC and NAICS
to which a class waiver would apply.
The SBA is currently processing a
request to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for LPG, PSC 6830 (Compressed
and Liquefied Gases), under NAICS
code 325120 (Industrial Gases
Manufacturing). The public is invited to
comment or provide source information
to SBA on the proposed waiver of the
Nonmanufacturer Rule for this product
within 15 days after date of publication
in the Federal Register. In addition,
SBA received several responses to the
January 12, 2010, notice from dealers
who believe that NAICS code 454312
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Bottled Gas)
Dealers) is the appropriate NAICS code
for this industry. However, wholesale
and retail NAICS codes are not
applicable to government procurements.
13 CFR 121.201. A procurement for
supplies should be classified under the
appropriate manufacturing or supply
NAICS code. 13 CFR 121.402(b). A firm

can qualify as a non-manufacturer on
such a procurement if it meets the
requirements of 13 CFR 121.406.
