based on the ratings applicable to the

published in the National Motor Freight
Classification (for carriers) and the
Uniform Freight Classification (for rail)

apply, per FAR clause 52.247–53,
offerors are requested to indicate the full

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)
19.301 and the FAR clause at 52.219–28,
Post-Award Small Business Program
Rerepresentation, implement the Small
Business Administration’s (SBA’s)
regulation at 13 CFR 121.404(g),
requiring that a concern that initially
represented itself as small at the time of
its initial offer must recertify its status
as a small business under the following
circumstances:
• Within thirty days of an approved
contract novation;
• Within thirty days in the case of a
merger or acquisition, where contract
novation is not required; or
• Within 120 days prior to the end of
the fifth year of a contract, and no more
than 120 days prior to the exercise of
any option thereafter.
The contracting officer at his or her
discretion, may also request the
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
28815
contractor to rerepresent its status as a
small business for individual task or
delivery orders.
The implementation of SBA’s
regulation in FAR 19.301 and the FAR
clause at 52.219–28 require that
contractors rerepresent size status by
updating their representations at the
prime contract level in the
Representations and Certifications
section of the System for Award
Management (SAM) and notifying the
contracting officer that it has made the
required update.
The purpose of implementing small
business rerepresentations in the FAR is
to ensure that small business size status
is accurately represented and reported
over the life of long-term contracts. The
FAR also provides for provisions
designed to ensure more accurate
reporting of size status for contracts that
are novated, or performed by small
businesses that have merged with or
been acquired by another business. This
information is used by the SBA,
Congress, Federal agencies and the
general public for various reasons such
as determining if agencies are meeting
statutory goals, set-aside
determinations, and market research.
