AI Contract Overview

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued a final rule updating employee-based small business size standards for 36 industries and certain exceptions outside of the Manufacturing, Wholesale Trade, and Retail Trade sectors. This rule increases size standards for 30 industries and three exceptions while reducing the size standards from 500 to 250 employees for three specific mining industries: Anthracite Mining, Silver Ore Mining, and Uranium-Radium-Vanadium Ore Mining. The rule also retains the Information Technology Value Added Resellers (ITVAR) exception with a 150-employee size standard, while adding a requirement that supply components comply with nonmanufacturing performance rules. Additionally, the rule eliminates exceptions related to Offshore Marine Air Transportation Services and Offshore Marine Services, removing certain subsector size standards and footnotes. SBA estimates that approximately 375 more firms will qualify as small businesses under the increased size standards. The updated standards became effective on February 26, 2016. Interested parties can access the full final rule and associated comments through Regulations.gov. For further information or clarification, Carl J Jordan is the point of contact at the SBA, reachable via email or phone. This action aims to better align small business size standards with current industry dynamics outside the major sectors of manufacturing, wholesale, and retail trade.

Full Description

The United States Small Business Administration (SBA) has issued a final rule to modify employee based small business size standards for 36 industries and "exceptions" in SBA's table of size standards that are not part of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Sector 31-33 (Manufacturing), Sector 42 (Wholesale Trade), or Sector 44-45 (Retail Trade). Specifically, the rule * Increases 30 size standards for industries and three "exceptions." * Decreases size standards from 500 employees to 250 employees for three industries, namely - NAICS 212113 (Anthracite Mining), - NAICS 212222 (Silver Ore Mining), and - NAICS 212291 (Uranium-Radium-Vanadium Ore Mining). * Maintains the Information Technology Value Added Resellers (ITVAR) "exception" under NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) as follows: - It retains the 150-employee size standard, and - It amends footnote 18 to SBA's table of size standards by adding the requirement that the supply component of small business set-aside ITVAR contracts (i.e., computer hardware and software) must comply with the nonmanufacturing performance requirements or nonmanufacturer rule. * Eliminates the Offshore Marine Air Transportation Services "exception" under NAICS 481211, Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation, and NAICS 481212, Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation. * Eliminates the Offshore Marine Services "exception" for industries in NAICS Subsector 483, Water Transportation, and their $30.5 million receipts based size standard. * Removes footnote 15 (the "exception" to Subsector 483) from the table of size standards. SBA estimates that about 375 additional firms may become small because of increased size standards for the 30 industries and three "exceptions" covered by this rule. You may read/download SBA's final rule at Regulations.gov (search on "RIN 3245 AG51" [without quotes]). You may also review the originally proposed rule together with all of the comments submitted by going to Regulations.gov. The proposed rule and the comments are included in the same docket.
