This requirement is commonly referred to as the Nonmanufacturer Rule. 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. A class of products is defined based on the Office of Management and Budget’s NAICS codes and the General Services Administration’s Product and Service Code Directory. Within each sixdigit NAICS code are subdivisions of products that can be considered for a waiver. A request for a waiver of a class of products should refer to a specific subdivision, or statement of product, within a six-digit NAICS code. A waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule does not waive the entire class of products under a specific NAICS code. The class waiver waives specific products within a subdivision within a NAICS code. Any individual or organization (government agency, business, association, etc.) may request a waiver for a class of products. The request should be in writing, addressed to the Director for Government Contracting and should specifically state the class (or classes) of products for which the waiver is sought.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act 
(Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), requires that recipients of Federal 
contracts set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-
owned small businesses, or Participants in SBA's 8(a) Business 
Development (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 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 participate 
in the Federal market.
    A class of products is defined based on the Office of Management 
and Budget's NAICS codes and the General Services Administration's 
Product and Service Code Directory. Within each six-digit NAICS code 
are subdivisions of products that can be considered for a waiver. A 
request for a waiver of a class of products should refer to a specific 
subdivision, or statement of product, within a six-digit NAICS code. A 
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule does not waive the entire class of 
products under a specific NAICS code. The class waiver waives specific 
products within a subdivision within a NAICS code.
    Any individual or organization (government agency, business, 
association, etc.) may request a waiver for a class of products. The 
request should be in writing, addressed to the Director for Government 
Contracting and should specifically state the class (or classes) of 
products for which the waiver is sought.
    In response to a request from a Federal Agency, SBA proposed to 
issue a Class Waiver for Improved Outer Tactical Vests, PSC 8470, NAICS 
code 339113, Federal Register Notice 20870. The SBA received multiple 
comments from small business manufacturers and distributors that have 
been awarded prime contracts or have submitted offers within the past 
24 months.
    Thus, SBA will not issue a class waiver from the non-manufacturer 
rule for PSC 8470 (Armor Personal) under NAICS code 339113.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 634.

Director for Government Contracting.
