The U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) is granting a class
waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for
Not-Portable, Liquid Chromatography
Mass Spectrometry (CS–MS) Systems,
High Performance Liquid
Chromatography (HPLC) Systems, Gas
Chromatography Mass Spectrometry
(GC–MS) Systems, and, Inductively

(ICP–MS) Systems under Product
Service Code (PSC) 6640 (Laboratory
Equipment and Supplies), under North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code 334516

Manufacturing). The basis for waiver is
that no small business manufacturers
are supplying these classes of products
to the Federal government. The effect of
this waiver will be to 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 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 supply 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

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 received a request on June
6, 2010, to waive the Nonmanufacturer
Rule for not-portable CS–MS, HPLC,
GC–MS, and, ICP–MS Laboratory
Equipment under PSC 6640 (Laboratory
Equipment and Supplies), under NAICS
code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory
Instrument Manufacturing).
On July 1, 2010, SBA published in the
Federal Register a notice of intent to
waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for the
above listed items. 75 FR 38156 (2010).
SBA explained in the notice that it was
soliciting comments and sources of
small business manufacturers of this
class of products. SBA did not specify
not-portable equipment only. No
comments were received in response to
this notice. In addition, SBA conducted
market research using the Dynamic
Small Business Search database and no
small business manufacturers that
participate in the Federal market were
identified. Thus, SBA has determined
that there are no small business
manufacturers of these classes of
products. However, because the request
for a class waiver was limited to notportable equipment, SBA is limiting the
waiver to not-portable CS–MS Systems,
HPLC Systems, GC–MS Systems, and,
ICP–MS Systems under PSC 6640
(Laboratory Equipment and Supplies),
under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical
Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing).
